featuring Martin Taylor, Martin Simpson, Bob Brozman, Larry Coryell, Steve Howe, Martin Carthy, Peppino D'Agostino, Tim Sparks and Gordon Giltrap. The "folk boom" which exploded in the wake of the Kingston Trio's 1958 hit, Tom Dooley, produced some surprising fallout. Acoustic guitar sales suddenly skyrocketed and a new generation of players quickly sized up the instrument's potential. It proved to be astonishing, once the secrets of fingerstyle guitar unfolded before the instrument's future masters. The performances in this DVD series present two generations of artists who have advanced the acoustic guitar's cause with formidable boldness. We clearly hear their folk, blues, and country roots even as they develop other distinctly personal harmonic and melodic pathways. Bonus material is included on each volume. NTSC all region, 84 minutes.
