Celtic Guitar is a lovely collection of 21+ Celtic tunes by one of the masters of the genre.

Jim Tozier plays tunes from all parts of the Celtic world, as well as his own original pieces that draw on many facets of folk heritage with clarity and a distinct touch. Not too much ornamentation, not a lot of flash and dash, but a devotion to melody and to the guitar as a storytelling instrument with a voice all its own mark his works. Many of the tunes on his collection of original works , SOLO GUITAR, are inspired by aspects of landscape, and his liner notes give just enough information to illuminate that without overburdening the listener's enjoyment of the music. Outstanding tracks include " The Copper Waltz" , "Frenchman's Bay" and "Dragonflies". On CELTIC GUITAR, he investigates well-known pieces , including "The Star Of County Down" and "Carolan's Cottage" with a quiet yet vigorous style that bears repeated listening.
