Unsung

Paul Abbott
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

Acoustic guitarist Paul Abbott's debut release, Unsung is an impressive array of steel-string pieces that often feature two independent simultaneous rhythms. Abbott is dedicated to the idea of using the acoustic guitar as the vehicle for his ideas. Each piece on Unsung envelops the listener with an innovative melodic motif and creative use of harmony and sound, as can be heard on "Any Monkey". John Slaney contributes fretless bass on "A Human Heart". Recommended for serious students of steel-string acoustic guitar.
