Furtado has gained respect through his impressive guitar playing and world-class banjo playing. He incorporates a deep understanding of traditional music with modern day music, creating a distinctive sound. Tony has been compared to Bela Fleck, Dave Matthews, and a modern Ry Cooder. "These Chains", which follows two previous releases, is in regular rotation on my ipod.
At the urging of his fans, Tony Furtado recorded his solo acoustic shows across the country and put together this much awaited live album. A phenomenal player of slide guitar and banjo, Tony gained critical acclaim for the 2004 release, "These Chains". This song is a particular favorite of mine.HMMMMM, I wonder why?
