CD Reviews

THE AutoHarp Master

David F. Della Lana | Waikiki, HI USA | 06/01/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"OK, so Bryan Bowers' singing isn't the best, but the instrumental work is outstanding. Several tracks stand-out for listening again & again. If you've ever had the opportunity to see this musician perform live, you'd love to have this album as a lasting memory..."

Ever Been To One of His Concerts?

J. M. Coleman | Bedford, VA United States | 07/16/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This man is not to be believed. I say that because back in 1977,1978...I and a friend attended a concert by Bryan in Ch'ville, VA and it totally blew me away. The man is a complete artist and I dare anyone to say otherwise. For those that would be interested in the Autoharp, I mean, taking it up, as a hobby, this is the gentleman to be following. I "try" to play the 'harp like he does...and I do it service....but Bryan makes a 'harp sound like you are at the Heaven's Gates!!!"

When He's Good He's Very Good . . .

Wilkinson Sword | 10/18/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I love this cd, but I'll be the first to admit that it has its weak moments. Bowers' singing is often pretty awful, and I don't know why he includes "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Frere Jacques". But yes, I love most of the cd. The title track is excellent, as are "Give Me The Roses", "Cluck Old Hen", "Shortening Bread", and "Crossing the Water."
In sum, when he's good, he's very good, and with the current technology it's easy to skip the howlers. If you like the autoharp, you'll most likely love this cd."
