As with any sequel, it is difficult to imagine recreating something as magical as the community we had with volume one.  I sure had my concerns, but as I worked with the incredible artists involved on this project, it just came together.  That's not to say that a lot of work was not thrown at it, as several tracks were long in the making and involved some pretty complex arrangements.  it's just that the core of this product still stems from the love affair with Taylor Guitars.  It cannot be faked, it cannot be duplicated, it's music that is inspired be great acoustic guitars.  To all the artists involved, I thank you for all your efforts and hard work and for sharing your music with us.
