...exist for the Baroque performer. Overall, his playing is clearly articulated, with careful attention to dynamic inflection, colorful ornamentation, and intimate shaping of each individual phrase. For some listeners, his approach may seem to personal--too free in rubato, too extreme in the use of swell and vibrato. But, here it is necessary to keep in mind that there is substantial historical evidence in support of all that Brueggen does, and that the degree of freedom in regulated in accordance with the style of composition.

...into Dylan's "Tonight I'll be Staying Here With You." Carmine Appice's vocal was strained a bit, but the guitar work brought the song off. Beck has learned to achieve a double-tracked guitar sound by working in the middle registers of his fretboard and adding some vibrato to the chords. This all makes for a much fuller sound, particularly when combined with his tendency to play thick notes that are held for an instant on the fretboard (which he learned from blues guitarists...

Musically, the simplicity of the bass line, the thin sound of drums, and in "Earlybird: the banjo and the faraway slide guitar, lend to a total sound that is remarkably...

...Tonto" is Rusty's song. He revisits each of the sounds that can be pulled from a steel guitar, particularly its use as an organ, and a vibrato guitar. Until the last five minutes, which are his to do with as he pleases. At which point he goes completely crazy, as does the band, and rips off Hendrix acid guitar licks and glissandos, complete with hand gestures.
