You and I Across the Water13. When I Was Young and Easy14. [CD-ROM Track] [Multimedia Track] This is one of those albums that excited me from the word go. When John and I first discussed the possibilities of his recording I was very pleased. You see, John James is one of the most creative and important acoustic guitar players performing and living in Europe today. His music owes little to the days of Davey Graham and Bert Jansch. These were the English guitar heroes of ten years ago. Instead John's music has traveled a path derived from folk music, ragtime and jazz sounds. From these sources he has developed a very unique and beautiful style of playing as well as composing. Once we had recorded all the material for this album I knew we had a proverbial "hot platter" on our hands. Finally, the complete talents of John James seemed to have been captured on record. All of his skills as a guitarist, arranger, and composer were clearly present. Plus, John was happy to transcribe his solos into tablature and we have prepared a PDF booklet, that accompanies this album, which features these pieces. This will certainly bring joy to guitarists who have struggled to learn John's intricate instrumentals.Copyright DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
