You should check Tommy's teenage protege, Joe Robinson, his latest album "Time Jumpin" was recorded in Nashville. he is a prodigy who grew up in the bush near me in Australia. Virtuosic fun with real musicality.
Tommy Emmanuel
I have been blessed to have seen many of the finest guitar players the world has to offer. Clapton, Santana, Jeff Beck, Steve Morse,Michael Hedges, and others. Tonight I saw some of the finest acoustic guitar playing ever from an Australian transplant named Tommy Emmanuel. Apparantly, he has been around for a long time and is a disciple of the late Chet Atkins. I was extremely impressed by his complete mastery of the guitar and more importantly, he was having a good time on stage. It was not just speed and technical skills. I do not own any of his music. Any fans or suggestions for recordings to pick up?
