Ragtime Music

This cd is pleasant enough, especially for the price. However, for those of you who want a bit more spirited renditions of ragtime guitar music I would recommend players such as Duck Baker and Mary Flower. The classical background and precision of the performer on this CD creates a technically pleasing rendition of the tunes but they really need more of a "Blues Attitude" to be more than 3 stars to my ears.

If you like Guitar and you like Ragtime, then you will really like this CD. The Artist very closely copies the piano arrangments of these standards and plays them at a tempo that is not hurried, so you hear all the notes. You will probably end up as I did, playing it over and over again. It is really a fine piece of work. The only negative I have is the artist did not use the greatest guitar in the recordings. I've heard much better sounding instruments. Also, the quality lacked a little, but what do you expect from a budget CD.
