Amos Garrett - Acoustic Album (2004)

In his career, guitarist/singer Amos Garrett has played country, folk, rock & roll, jug music, and some jazz. Born in Detroit, he has primarily worked in Canada, being a busy studio guitarist in addition to having his own solo projects. Acoustic Album lives up to its name, featuring Garrett on a variety of good-time music that includes some swing (including a couple Hoagy Carmichael tunes), country, folk, and roots music. Garrett's easygoing and warm baritone voice, friendly style, and fluent guitar picking make Acoustic Album a delightful set, one well worth savoring. (Scott Yanow)
