Various Artists - Wayfaring Strangers: Guitar Soli (Numero Group) [audio]

A missing link this ain't. Some of it is noodly puppy puke. One composition sounds a whole heck of a lot like something written specifically for The Weather Channel. Hold on now, though! About half the record is just terrific! Some of it is best described with the word "haunting." "Brilliant" even (if you're some kinda pervert). Clearly the whole thing owes its entire existence to John Fahey and his ilk, but this is still a truly enjoyable compilation of solo guitar formerly lost to those sweaty weirdos you see crouched on the floor at Goodwill. - muffin
