WOW!
By far my most favorite work of Jake's, this album is absolutely incredible. Jake does things with this instrument that normal people like you and me don't even realize are possible. Most of the album is acoustic and solo, which helps to exhibit...

Gere
What an outstanding musician. Only he would know if this is not perfection. It sure sounded like it to me. However, I found 2 or 3 cuts that were a little too edgy for me.
