relative of former President Calvin Coolidge, guitarist Calvin L. Coolidge II recently released his second instrumental guitar album and it's a winner. Produced by New Age synthesist Paul Speer- and featuring a number of gifted players - Seconds is low key, but don't let that fool you. Coolidge is masterful at combining deeply meditative instrumental moods and eloquent acoustic / electric guitar performance. Describing the musical makeup of Seconds Calvin adds, "I suppose, for this CD, a broad category might be modern day instrumental, but I suppose that's ultimately up to the listener." An excellent album to unwind and mellow out with.
