Adrian Legg
Guitars And Other Cathedrals
The Story
"Guitars And Other Cathedrals", English fingerstylist Adrian Legg's 1990 US debut recording, is an album whose bounding technical flourish, broad sense of style and bone-deep lyricism immediately perked up the ears of guitar fans everywhere. On "Guitars And Other Cathedrals", Legg brilliantly displays his knack for pulling together a host of styles (jazz, Celtic, English, country, classical, Spanish, bluegrass, etc.) and techniques in a fluid, emotionally charged manner. Legg plays each piece much as you would hear them on stage - most pieces recorded direct to digital stereo - and uses a variety of six- and twelve-string guitars. A masterpiece.
