Listener Reviews & Comments Such a high level of musicianship from these two yet again. I am continually impressed with Shawn Lane. I have been blown away by Shawn on Time is The Enemy and my personal favorite Two Doors, and with this intimate acoustic set was sonically entranced. The 4 pieces slowly build and then wane as these 2 weave intricate patterns of exotic/eastern melodies. The highlight for me is the final piece where the two inject some seriously tasty runs with some pace - this is a nice change from the slower, intense emotional build of the previous pieces. At about 6 minutes into the last piece Shawn plays some truly devastating lines that will make your ears do a double take. It is an interesting change from the usual electric set and apt. Q-258 provides the solid background which further empowers the intensity of the total sonic palette. Shawn has got to be one of the best kept secrets of guitar mastery! 4 stars only because I believe that 5 stars is for a piece that has held the test of time and remained in the collective muscial consciousness. This is certainly a must have for fans though. Be inspired!
