Reviews for ISLAND OF WOODS
“I so love the recording you did of The Island of Woods! You’re a beautiful player and I couldn’t be more delighted hearing your rendition.” – Liz Carroll (Composer of ISLAND OF WOODS)
“Dive into the realm of audible magic with Steve Gibb’s ‘Island of Woods’ – an exhibition of virtuoso guitar brilliance filled with grace, grief, and a staggering emotional depth that resonates long after the last note. – Island of Woods is an album of flat-out, incontestable virtuoso guitar playing – an album filled with brilliantly reworked standards and a sprinkling of bright, springy, and dramatic originals. – Is Island of Woods a good album? No, it’s an AMAZING album with a grieving, gracious guitar spilling more emotion than it has any right to. It’s truly a vessel for the brilliance of its player, and I still can’t shake the 30-billion feelings it soaked me with. Highly recommended? OhmyGod – YES!” – Jess Chuzik (The Ark of Music)
