Our Take

Wayfaring Strangers: Guitar Soli, a compilation of rare and obscure guitar soli tracks from the 60s and 70s, is a treasure trove for aficionados of finger-picking goodness. From delicate folk tunes to intricate blues licks, this album showcases the diverse talents of various artists and takes listeners on a sonic journey through the golden age of acoustic guitar music.

Tracks like "The Tailor" by Robbie Basho and "Little Martha" by Duane Allman highlight the virtuosity and creativity of these unsung heroes of the guitar world. The raw emotion and technical skill displayed on each track are a testament to the time and dedication these artists put into honing their craft.

However, not every track on this compilation hits the mark. Some songs veer into self-indulgent noodling territory, with meandering melodies and aimless improvisations that fail to engage the listener. It's a shame, as there is a wealth of talent on display here, but not every artist manages to strike the right balance between technical prowess and emotional depth.

Overall, Wayfaring Strangers: Guitar Soli is a must-listen for fans of acoustic guitar music looking to discover hidden gems from the past. While not every track is a winner, the sheer talent and passion on display make this compilation a worthwhile addition to any music lover's collection. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let these guitar soli masters take you on a musical journey like no other.
