The Early Sessions by Ray Montford Ray Montford : The Early Sessions.
Evocative, melodic and haunting instrumental guitar music.


A fingerstyle solo acoustic album with minimal accompaniment. Recorded direct-to-DAT in 1991, it features a pristine sound, with no overdubs or editing.

This record features unplugged versions of May It Begin, One Witness, Ice House and Appalachia. As I was nearing the end of a recovery from an injury in 2004, I needed something musical to do and decided to release this on CD... something I'd been itching to do ever since CDs took over the world. This is a good one for acoustic guitar lovers.
