ALBUM PREVIEWS
NEW CD "The Bridge" The new album by master acoustic blues and slide guitarist, Rick Payne, is an acoustic tour de force. Rick usually confines himself to solo work, both on stage and in the studio, but on "The Bridge" he has surrounded himself with a top class crew of musicians, including the great Stuart Gordon on fiddle and Cliff Thorne on bass. Rick's arrangements, the finest playing and excellent, mature song writing all combine to make "The Bridge" one of the finest roots acoustic albums you're likely to hear in a month of Sundays.

INSTRUMENTALLY YOURS CD Rick Payne is best known as an acoustic bluesman. He is widely regarded as one of the world's finest acoustic slide players. However, this is not the be all and end all of Rick Payne's guitar playing by any means. Not surprising when you consider his classical guitar training. "Instrumentally Yours" is a fabulous showcase of all kinds of fingerstyles. A heady mix of acoustic guitar flavours here, including Celtic, Elizabethan lute stylings, Folk, Blues, Ragtime and Jazz. "Instrumentally Yours" amazes and delights the listener as it veers this way and that on its magical, musical mystery tour of contemporary and old school fingerstyles.
