"Steve Baughman is one of my favorite musicians. His passion for Celtic music is infectious, he is well informed, and his spirit shines brightly in his playing. Coupled with his friendly, relaxed style, Baughman’s clear teaching makes this project a go-to Celtic guitar course.” —Clive Carroll
"I first heard Steve Baughman play on a compilation CD many years ago. New and refreshingly different fingerstyle interpretations of well-known Celtic tunes set him apart as one of the greats. As seen in this collection, Baughman’s signature style of ornamentation and his understanding of the inherent groove that is critical in playing a tune effectively, no matter the tempo, continues to make him a rarity among fingerstyle soloists.” —Al Petteway
