Customer Reviews

A joful feast of guitar from a neglected master.
This recording is one of the truly indispensable collections of steel string guitar compositions. Peter Lang plays with the stunning clarity and dexterity of Kottke, and the bluesy dissonance of Fahey. Right from the swift bright opening of 'Snow Toad', this is playing of real authority. There are some fine compositions here. 'Last Days At The Lodge' is a tender, memorable theme as is the delightful 'Young Man Look At Your Shoes'. 'Wide Oval Ripoff' is a piece of Kottke inspired slide playing, and 'Future Shot At The Rainbow' is a perfect example of how Lang combines technique with compositional skill to produce works that are satisfying, thoughtful, joyful and thoroughly unforgettable. It is sad that such a talent has been so little recorded, but that makes this reissue all the more welcome. Anyone who likes guitar music should own this beautiful record. I have loved it for many years, and it just keeps getting better.
