There aren't many guitarists with the guts...or more importantly the talent...to release an album of solo guitar recorded live with no editing or overdubs. But independent artist Alan Goodman did just that...and by doing so...has created a wonderfully entertaining album. Goodman's tunes are, for the most part, inspired by flamenco. His playing is fluid and mature...and his ability to communicate thoughts, feelings, and ideas with his guitar playing...is most impressive. To put it more bluntly, this man can play the hell out of a guitar.
One tune ("Don Ramon") is an original arrangement of traditional falsetas...the remaining ten compositions were written by Goodman himself. Alan seems like a regular guy...who just happens to be an extraordinary talent
