Our Take

Recently, acoustic guitar virtuoso Duck Baker graced our ears with his latest masterpiece, "County Set." The album is a delightful blend of folk, blues, and jazz influences, showcasing Baker's exceptional fingerpicking skills and unparalleled musicality.

From the moment the first notes of "County Set" hit your eardrums, you are transported to a world where time seems to stand still. Baker's intricate melodies weave together effortlessly, creating a tapestry of sound that is both soothing and invigorating.

Tracks like "Silver City" and "Blackberry Blossom" showcase Baker's technical prowess, with lightning-fast runs and complex chord progressions that will leave you in awe. But it's not all about flash - Baker's soulful interpretations of traditional folk tunes like "Shenandoah" and "Pretty Polly" bring a sense of nostalgia and warmth to the album.

One standout track is the hauntingly beautiful "Willow Tree," where Baker's delicate touch and emotive playing draw you in and hold you captive until the very last note. The juxtaposition of light and darkness in this piece is truly mesmerizing, leaving a lasting impression that will linger long after the music has stopped.

Overall, "County Set" is a must-listen for fans of acoustic guitar music. Duck Baker's unique blend of genres and masterful technique make this album a true standout in his already impressive discography. So grab your favourite cuppa, sit back, and let Duck Baker serenade you with his enchanting melodies. It's a musical journey you won't want to miss.
