Music reviews of Preston Reed: Pointing Up
Music Review: For The Finger Picker In Us All!
Rating: 5 Stars
This is one (or actually TWO) of my favorite acoustic guitar albums and I was quite surprised to see it had not been reviewed yet. These are Preston Reed's earlier recordings for the Flying Fish label and the picking is a bit more wild and 'hardcore' than his more recent offerings.
This recording by Preston Reed sort of fits nicely in between Leo Kotke and his American Gothic solo guitar style, and Michael Hedges and his more modern pedal-to-the-metal, "Heavy Mental" acoustic guitar music. Sometimes the listener will swear that there is more than one guitar making all this music, such is the mastery of this player.
If you are a fan of finger-style guitar, and not afraid of speed and dynamics (as opposed to the slow, unengaging, easy to tune out New Age muzak that so much solo acoustic guitar music gets lumped into these days) then give this disc a try. You will get two albums for the price of one, and it makes a great soundtrack for those long nighttime drives on dark, empty highways...
