Live Album

Great Cd of Ed Gerhard's live performances from different venues. Includes many of his well known arrangements with great sound recording.

Ed Gerhard is one of our favorite guitarist. We've played this cd over and over. We never get tired of it.

If you like acoustic guitar and Weissenborn this is a must. If you know Ed's work I don't need to tell you. If you don't you should.

How do you describe in words tender, tasteful music that can touch your heart? I discovered the work of Ed Gerhard a few years back at a fair for creative artists in NH. His work struck me right away as being world class and timeless. There's the precision of classical guitar, the velvety aloha of the Hawaiian slack-key masters and the bold and mellow strumming of folk artists like Tom Rush. Fortuneately for us, if Ed Gerhard has an ego, he doesn't bring it to his performance. The music is pure, expressive and intimate.

This is an alblum I will treasure forever! I normally avoid live alblums, the audio quality may be inferior to studio recordings, and there is the audience sound, applause etc,This alblum is an exception, the sound quality is superior!No audience noise !Ed Gerhard is not simply an accomplished guitarist, he is an artist that will transport you to a simplier time. A time when you could savor each tone.The Live Alblum is a portfolio of beautiful melodies. Some played with a deep soleful impressionist style and others with layers of tone quality you will love hearing over and over again. This alblum is my favorite acoustic guitar alblum !I would reccomend starting any collection with this one.There is not a single track that is not outstanding!

In this age of body-boinging, neck-bending, two-hand tapping, and "done-without-overdubs" guitarists, it's very inspiring and enjoyable to hear the guitar played the way Gerhard does. The "oohs and ahhs" Ed inspires aren't for something pulled from a bag of tricks but are for his technical and musical brilliance. Thanks Ed!
