Even after making nine brilliant recordings, English guitar great and raconteur Adrian Legg's true home is onstage. “Playing live is the whole point,” he says. “Everyone makes a journey, an effort; we all come together – me, the audience, the people who run the venue – to share this wonderful, universal, human emotional interaction. This is where music lives.”
"To say Legg plays a good guitar is like saying Menuhin saws a fine fiddle. This man is ridiculously talented." (Music Week)
"Impossible to categorize as a player, Adrian Legg incorporates virtually every genre on his guitar in a virtuosic instrumental style with effects. He brought electric approaches to acoustic playing, creating a modern cross-over amalgamation in the tradition of eclectic folk playing that goes back to the 1960s." (Guitar by Richard Chapman, 2000)
"There are guitarists, there are axe-wielding maniacs, and then there are wizards. Adrian Legg is one of the wizards. He has enough technique to do just about anything he wants, but also the sensitivity to honour the contours of a melody." (Philadelphia Enquirer, Aug. 5, 2000)
"Unlike Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp, in whose league he belongs, Legg seems never to have been seduced by rock. But unlike Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder, whom he also occasionally resembles, Legg is an adventurer, not an archivist." (Newsday)
Voted "Guitarist of the Decade" by Guitarist magazine.
