On the first hearing of this album one is immediately stuck by the depth and understanding this young man has of the accoustic guitar. His compositions for the guitar covor a wide variety of styles from traditional Irish to Jazz Blues. From Classsical to Micheal Hedges finger tapping. There is something for everyone. Only, if you think you can play the guitar well, then I recomend that you not listen to this chaps CD as I have not played my gutar since listening to it. He will make you sick with his amaizing tallent and feel that you never want to pick up a guitar again. If however you are strong hearted then I highly recomend this as a great piece of work. This is one to watch out for. A great debut CD.

Saw this guy play live last night together with John Renbourn and was completely blown away. Still young he has a musical range that makes Clapton look dead ordinary. All tracks on this disc are Carroll's own and each pushes the technical as well as creative barriers on the guitar. In one word, brilliant!

if you have a love of the guitar, this album is both an inspiration and a joy to listen to.Clive Carroll is a very special talent, and his first cd ( recorded when he was just 24yrs old) is a masterpiece.He mixes an incredible classical technique with traditional irish and celtic roots.The highlight is one of the most beautiful pieces of guitar playing i have ever heard - 'Secrets'.
An absolute 'must have' for any guitar player
