invigorated from a set of dates playing the acid folk and improvised music circuit in USA with The No Neck Blues Band and Jack Rose Michael recorded this double cd set in his local studios.

This is 100 minutes of solo guitar no overdubs, no guitar choirs or the tapping rythmn foot. Playing antique Gibsons, a resonator and occasion strat, Michael roars through two sets of material re-arranged for solo guitar
