I CAN'T BELIEVE NASHVILLE LET HIM DO IT!!!!

"If you think Nashville music is all made up of insipid under-three-minute-up-tempo-positive-just-like-what-was-number-one-last-week pablum, WELL, here's a surprise for you! This is Steve Wariner doing what he does best - and making all would-be guitarists consider using the Takamine for firewood. Songwriter/keyboardist/genius Randy Goodrum's influence is all over this nearly-all-instrumental showcase. Steve brought in Vince Gill, Chet Atkins, Mark O'Connor,Bela Fleck, Leo Kottke, Leroy Parnell, and Richie Sambora...it is like the ULTIMATE guitar round!! Only one track suffers the indignation of Nashville influence... where some of the young guns attempt to keep up with this pace (if that's Bryan White playing drums - then, it's a good thing he can sing!) You will play this CD over and over and over again."
BRILLIANT

"What a surprise!!! I hate country musik and would never ever have looked at this CD. Would have been a crying shame. I am a guitar nut and this is a feast of top class guitar playing. The material ranges from country / fusion to jazz to blues and even some classical touches. Great compositions, superb playing and a very impressive list of guest artists ensures a very varied experience. If you like the guitar, you will love this"
A picker's album

"This is an album which showcases Wariner's awesome talent on the guitar. He was a picker long before he was a singer. Musicians will greatly appreciate this effort."
