This is an astounding record which has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember. Part One is brilliant but I think this is even greater. I love the way the vocal seems to float free and "hover" above the accompaniment. It's hard to believe there are two musicians here, so closely intertwined are the two guitar parts!
