Tony Furtado, check this guy out

I stumbled across him a few months ago while looking through the bluegrass section, but that is like saying Bela Fleck is a bluegrass musician. Sure, he can do it and do it very well, but he is so much more.

I picked up "Tony Furtado and the American Gypsies, Live Gypsy" today and it is the best thing I have found in quite a while. I have a few of his other albums that I really like but this one is special. Great sonics too.

I've been hearing him live for years in little bars in my area (Hood River/White Salmon), and he is very good.

I picked up the "American Gypsy" CD after a solo performance at the Buffalo Gap in Portland. The opening track Oh Berta Berta really jams. The recording quality is pretty decent. I am not big on bluegrass, but I have been playing this disc all summer long :)

Is this "Live Gypsy" a new recording?

Nobody answered the question above. He plays banjo and slide guitar. "Within Reach" is a good cd, but I bought it only because, at the time, it had the only recorded version of Alison Krauss doing "I Will."

He is a very good musician if you like the newgrass genre.
