"Rothbard shines throughout letting the music speak for itself but adding some flourishes and variety that gives it a flow and spark that demands your attention as it delivers something new to say and adds a new viewpoint to some well worn grooves. Solo guitar fans will recognize this as the real deal. Hot, in a low key way."
