Rosewood is a mesmerizing steel-string acoustic album that highlights guitarist Jim Earp's ear for melody and a developed percussive attack. Earp favors a variety of open tunings and uses a capo on thirteen compostions, twelve of which are Earp originals. Fans of acoustic music will find this CD immediately accessible as Earp has found his own voice from his many influences, including Leo Kottke, Alex DeGrassi and Bruce Cockburn. Standout tracks include the sunny "Lunes", an impressionistic mood piece entitled "Solitary Dancer" and the infectious "Angel's Apple Pie." Driving rhythms, beautiful tone and deft technique--a dynamite combination. Instrumental Guitar (Acoustic/Fingerstyle), total running time, 41:08 - Jim Earp @ iTunes!
