Harvey Reid - In Person

Review by Charles Weinberg

In Person, the album by Harvey Reid, is a delightful collection of acoustic guitar music that is sure to please any fan of the genre. The album features Reid's masterful playing on a variety of guitars, including 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars, a resonator guitar, and a mandolin.

The album is divided into two parts, with the first half featuring Reid's original compositions, and the second half featuring traditional tunes. Reid's original compositions are both intricate and melodic, showcasing his skill as a songwriter and musician. The traditional tunes, on the other hand, are played with a reverence for the past, but with a fresh and modern twist.

Throughout the album, Reid's playing is crisp and precise, with each note and chord ringing out clearly. His fingerpicking style is particularly impressive, with complex patterns and rhythms that add depth and texture to the music. The album is also notable for its excellent sound quality, with each instrument and note captured with clarity and warmth.
