Solo Guitar

Description

Mark Fosson has been playing guitar for almost 50 years, and his mastery of the instrument is now undeniable. This album is only the 5th released under his own name, which goes to show that when he does use it, the music it contains is particularly beautiful and true. After his 2015 album *KY* about his childhood memories in Kentucky, here he focuses solely on his guitar, whether it's a 6 or 12-string. He demonstrates fingerpicking among the liveliest and most virtuosic in the world to tell stories colored by the steel of plucked, struck, and twisted strings. *Solo Guitar* is the kind of masterful album that takes a lifetime to create. It proves that a guitarist of Mark Fosson's caliber doesn't need words to tell stories as rich and detailed as those of a poet, writer, or filmmaker.
