AMG Review of Guitar Masters, Vol. 1

Al Campbell
All Music Guide

The first volume of BHP's Guitar Masters compilation features cover versions of such widely divergent tracks as the traditional American folk ballad "Shenandoah," Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein," and Stevie Wonder's hit "I Wish." Also included among the 18 cuts are genre-crossing originals that incorporate smooth jazz ("Stay with Me"), an acoustic ballad ("What Can I Say"), and a bombastic rocker ("Space Talk").
