Clarelynn Rose—acoustic guitar

Comments:

A collection of her own compositions with a couple of traditional tunes. Technically accomplished and evocative, her work owes much to John Renbourn but her material also mentions Alex de Grassi, who also appears to be an influence. This is pretty music, by turns energetic and lyrical. Clarelynn Rose is a self-taught guitarist and well worth listening to if solo acoustic guitar appeals to you. (sophiagurley@hotmail.com)
