Anyone who hasn't heard Tommy Emmanuel play the acoustic guitar has yet to experience one of life's greatest pleasures. Sincerely, like Liberace or Burt Bacharach on the piano, or like Bela Fleck on the banjo, Tommy has truly reached the pinnacle of what one can do (or ever be EXPECTED to do) on an acoustic guitar. I have (grimace) played the guitar for almost 50 years, and every time I see him in concert, I always have two thoughts -- to go home and practice harder than I ever have in my life, or to take the guitar and toss it into the fireplace and use it for kindling wood. I have seen Mr. Emmanuel three times in concert, and have had the joy of meeting him in person twice -- and as proficient as he is on stage, he is every bit as cordial and congenial off-stage. He's a true gentle soul of a man who finally is at peace with himself and where he fits in the world. And it surely shows in his music.

Highly recommended on this disc are a few of his staples -- Fingerlakes and Welsh Tornado (although the MP3 ID shows this as "Welsh Tonado"), and a song he has probably performed 100,000 times, "Guitar Boogie" -- although never in this light. Victor Wooten (from Bela Fleck and the Flecktones fame) is slicker than STP Oil Treatment on the bass, and the two of them turn this country classic into a rip-roaring jazzy fun-fest. You know when Tommy is happy with a song, because he laughs heartily at the end of it. And he does at the end of this wonderful version of Guitar Boogie.

To sum it up, Tommy Emmanuel doesn't PLAY music. Tommy Emmanuel IS music.
