We're really excited to be able to tell you that Preston's very first recording is now available 30 years on from it's original release. You'll hear the young power pickin' Preston at work on this recording and you'll probably notice that some percussion was always there in his playing at some level. Acoustic Guitar was hailed by Guitar Player Magazine back in the day as being "exceptionally fine" with "compositional diversity and guitaristic brilliance".
Welcome to Preston Reed’s guitar revolution. Everything you thought you knew is wrong. All the rules you thought applied have gone. For one night only, logic and reason have left the building and musical magic fizzes in the air, as the New York visionary credited with reinventing the acoustic guitar takes you on a six and twelve string thrill-ride through the impossible and unforgettable. Night after night, venue after venue, Reed’s growing army of converts are unanimous. He came. He soared. He conquered. Pass it on.
He can’t be doing that. It’s a familiar reaction to the one-man symphonies on Reed’s 15 studio albums, as the maestro fuses chord-based grooves, soaring melodic runs and polyrhythmic percussion with his breathtaking two-handed style. Yet this is not guitar wizardry for its own sake. Unlike many instrumentalists, the power and depth of Reed’s original songwriting is as unique as the man’s execution, as blues, rock, funk and jazz meet, embrace, interlock and attack to create a sonic brew quite unlike anything you’ve heard before. Ears prick up. Heads turn. Feet tap. Hearts melt.
But live is where Preston Reed really comes alive. Walking onstage, he is one man armed with a single ordinary guitar. Then it happens. Before your eyes, Reed morphs into a fully-formed rock ‘n’ roll band, engaging acoustic, electric and resophonic guitars with a visceral display of slaps, taps, harmonic tickles and fretboard pyrotechnics that shred the rulebook and leave audiences breathless across the globe.
Preston Reed is changing the music scene one venue at a time. Lend him your ears.
