Conceived as a tribute to Taylor guitars, this recording manages to transcend any stereotypes of projects dedicated to the advancement of a business principle or product. That's due to the quality of the performers, the pieces they play, and the passion they bring to them. There's really not a misstep in the bunch. Guitar slingers from Russ Freeman to Leo Kottke, Steve Stevens and Billy Joe Walker are joined by singers such as Vince Gill, Kathy Mattea, Amy Grant and Joe Lynn Turner who eschew voice in favor of guitar. Of particular note is "Java Man" by Michael Hedges. This was the last recording Hedges made before his untimely death in an automobile accident, and Windham Hill founder William Ackerman speaks to his legacy in moving liner notes. Volume II is promised to follow. ~ Ross Boissoneau Producer: Clint Black; Billy Joe Walker, Jr.; Greg Jennings; Will Ackerman; Hope Juber; Larry Hamby; Larry Stewart; Laurence Juber; Michael Hedges; Amy Grant; Pat Regan; Russ Freeman; Skip Ewing; Steve Stevens; T.J.
