His articulate, flawless fingering and lyrical phrasings do not just engage the heart, but they invite the consciousness to open. Petteway's playing is captivating. Al Petteway is a name that should be familiar to guitar fanciers. Whispering Stones is a tribute to his Celtic heritage, beautifully picked on acoustic guitar. Some are ancient tunes, others he has newly composed in the old style.
All tunes are quiet, sophisticated and somewhat introspective.
