cds are good, live shows even better
great album. consistent material what you would expect from him. however, if you can see his live show, you'll really understand the guy's talent. just because music like this isn't on the billboard charts or on mtv/vh1 or radio, doesn't mean that it's not great music. get out and search for music off the beaten path, maybe start here...then hang out with johannes linstead and govi

Great Picken
I've never been too interested in classical guitar in the past. I heard a song of his a few times on XM jazz and decided to check the rest on line. I ownd two of his CD's now and they're both really good. A great change of pace from rock and regular jazz.

The best Jesse yet
I own a few of Jesse Cook's cds and this is my favorite so far.It has a great mix of fast and slow moving pieces and a few lyrics thrown in as well.

A guitarrist performing
This is an amazing album, the one you expect from a well developed artist like Jesse Cook. The first five pieces are astonishing, but above all "rain" is simply a blue marvel. If youre looking for a new fresh flamenco music take it.

Underrated talent - an act you must see
This CD is even better than his previous - especially when you see him perform it live. His magnetism, stage presence, and fellow artists are rich in entertaining culture. Its amazing what he can do to others recordings such as Dylan. Looking forward to many more performances and CD's from Jesse Cook.
