NEW
CD "The Bridge"
The new album by master acoustic blues and slide guitarist,
Rick Payne, is an acoustic tour de force.
Rick
usually confines himself to solo work, both on stage and in
the studio, but on "The Bridge" he has surrounded
himself with a top class crew of musicians, including the great
Stuart Gordon on fiddle and Cliff Thorne on bass.
Rich
arrangements, the finest playing and excellent, mature songwriting
all combine to make "The Bridge" one of the finest
roots acoustic albums you're likely to hear in a month of Sundays.
