Synopsis

Album Description
These 12 beautiful and soulful acoustic guitar solos skillfully blend Celtic, Folk and New Age. The music was largely written in and inspired by the majestic forests of the Pacific Northwest, and guitarist Alex de Grassi likens the CD to "a walk in the woods". The solos range from lively to lovely and are very melodic, and the music is relaxing without being sleepy. In the words of a Yale University student, "Really fantastically beautiful!"

CD Reviews

Grounding Music for the Soul
Rinaldi Wibowo | City by the Bay, California | 05/15/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ever find yourself in a contemplative mood and find all that media on the radio too intrusive and abrasive? The Redwood Sidthe is a grassroots, self-written, serious guitar album filled with music that both encompasses texture, depth and yet provides you space. It may be just what we need.The music on this album, ranging from the imagery of a full moon reflection off "Lake Oswego" (Track 7) to the spacious "Offering" (Track 12), is breathtakingly beautiful. And when compared to the "in-your-face" culture that we are all exposed to (at least in SF), it's almost hard to believe something like this is out there and available. So much so that at the end of the work day, as you sit down and let the air out, it's almost a good thing to spin this disc. I first heard Clarelynn Rose guitar first hand while in Ukiah, California in March 2001. I bought a copy of this CD and lent it to my friends. One of whom is 7 months pregnant. First time she heard it, she said "Wow, this music is so relaxing. I am seriously planning to use this during labor". =). Myself, I listen to it almost daily and yet continue to find the music fresh, grounding and alert while eminating from the heart. I hope you give this CD a chance. Many people I've lent this CD to have gone and bought their own copy. It's that good. --peace"

"An astoundingly beautiful blend of gentle guitar without the overblown and overdone Celtic or New Age excess. Simple and sweet, yet filled with heart and obvious talent. I keep the CD on "continuous play" at work and find myself far more creative and relaxed. "Across the Pond" is exquisite and every track has the refreshing and rejuvenating quality of a misty Redwoods morning. Exceptional!"
Wonderful music

"I have heard Clarelynn played live several times. She is absolutely marvelous. When she played at one of our conferences, everyone is begging for more. Many people asked to buy the CD but she didn't bring any CD. Her music still stays in my head after hearing her played, and it calms me down immediately. I can go on forever so judge for yourselve."
