Here's a review from 20th Century Guitar magazine,May 2005:
MORTIMER NELSON
Poor Player
(Chickadee Music)
A stellar sounding mix of acoustic jazz with classical guitar overtones (and hints of Ragtime too), Poor Player is a crisply recorded set of compelling acoustic instrumentals with Nelson's Taylor guitar ringing out loud and clear. Nelson is more Stefan Grossman or John Renbourn than Leo Kottke, yet the 15 track all original set maintains an atmospheric, experimental edge while seducing listeners with its sumptuous sound stage. The occasional addition of Riki Tesea on Casio SK1 synth adds some nice edges, and guitar buffs won't fail to be impressed by Nelson's meticulous command of the acoustic guitar fretboard. Nelson's sinewy chordal picking hits new heights on the set-closing 11+ minute track 'Tidepools'.
