Acoustic original music featuring Norton Buffalo, David Grisman, Todd Phillips and Joe Weed
Editorial review
Joe Weed is a consummate tour guide on this musical travelogue of our country. Weed arranged, played and produced these outstanding original compostitions. Gleaning inspiration from Cuban rhumba bands, mariachi and Southern oldtime fiddles, adding touches of Copland, Tex-Czech polka, cowboy campfire songs, Joe Weed's album couldn't be more varied or lush. A master of all string instruments, Joe here plays guitar, fiddle, mandolin and viola with melodious complements of harmonica, accordion, cello, flutes, percussion and environmental sounds... ~ MusD, All Music Guide

About American Portrait
(by Paul Hostetter, writing for Acoustic Guitar magazine:
From his guitar joyride down "Highway One" to the eccentric and beguiling "Sliding Down Mt. Rushmore" to a serene "Prairie Waltz," Joe Weed's new CD, AMERICAN PORTRAIT, showcases his canny musical travelog through a vast personal landscape of images and imagination. Covering eleven musical locales (even Hawaii gets a "Pineapple Rag,") each piece is a tapestry in its own right.
