Description
Cheshire Cat 106 ▪ Released 2007
The ancestral spirit of the American Southwest is so moving, so alive, so powerful - it transcends the here and now with an inherent sensibility as old as the land itself.
A Grammy Award-winning fingerstyle guitarist, Eric Tingstad is well known for his impressionistic style, and an uncanny ability to unearth the soul of musical landscapes
creating a distinctive sense of place. It's been said by more than a few, that upon hearing just five to six notes, one can categorically determine sight unseen, it is
Eric playing guitar. His inimitable style stands out in his latest musical offering titled, SOUTHWEST. A longstanding and highly visible steward of the land, Tingstad
conceived this project eight years ago under the working title, "The Desert Project." He envisioned an earthy and evocative mood he refers to as "Native Americana western desert
chill." “The imposing geography and climate of the American Southwest inspire many visitors to endow those who live there with magical and mystical qualities. Remote from
the nation's population centers, and a forbidding place for many to live, it evokes awe for those who walk in beauty on the ancient lands of the desert dwellers. “Southwest” is
inspired by the shadows of this land and the peoples, ancient and new. It reminds us the old ways are not entirely lost. Journey through this music in a good way, learn to talk
and listen with our mother earth perhaps strange yet familiar.” ~ Gary Stroutsos
