Carl Orr - Deep Down
|
Our Price: £8.99
|
|
|
Carl Orr is a master craftsman. One of those rare artists who combine passion and virtuosity to create compelling music with every phrase.
"The relatively unsung Orr's fleet-fingeredness and musical imagination, as evidenced by his confident dexterity and intriguing compositions, put him on one of the top shelves of today's guitar and overall musical elite. If there is any artistic justice at all, it is only a matter of time before many more people reach up and grab that particular book, open the pages and discover what they have been missing."
