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.
