"...Eleven guitarists appear on Narada's latest collection, with original compositions in styles ranging from folk to country to jazz to classical to newgrass. The music flows well together, and while you will certainly want to read the biographical information about your favorites, you can enjoy listening to the whole disc without any reference to the liner notes. Most of the tracks have been released on solo albums by the artists, but Narada's juxtaposition of their skills allows new appreciation for the music, which has been recorded in Narada's 20-bit mastering technology for additional clarity.
