"I have all of Edgar Cruz's CD's and he is phenominal. I have seen him play live twice and he draws a enormous crowd. His approach to classical guitar is a modern one. On his albums, he transcribes rock, T.V. themes, and folk tunes. His ability to play all instruments on the guitar, with no overdubbing is overwhelming. On his album Classical Demands, Cruz plays his rendition of the old Queen anthem, "Bohemian Rhapsody". Cruz play the bass, guitar, piano, and voice parts, all at the same time. This is truly awesome. If you have ever heard Mason William's "Classical Gas", Cruz plays it better than william's w/ Manheim Steamroller. If you have never heard Cruz play, you are missing out. If you have but don't have any of his CD's, buy them all. You'll be glad you did."
One man plays lead, bass and vocal on one guitar...

"I've seen Mr. Cruz on several occasions. Each time I have been more amazed than the last. This man plays not only the lead, but also the bass and vocal melodies simultaneously. Another equally impressive fact is that his style covers everything from Spanish classical to classic rock-n-roll. If you like acoustic, you'll love this CD. It's too bad Amazon doesn't offer more of his CD's."
