Customer Reviews:

One of the best Electric Guitar CDs ever made.......2005-12-23

A couple of months back I located a list titled 20-best ACOUSTIC guitar CDs ever made. Tommy Emmanuel's CD ONLY was on the list. I bought the CD and it certainly belonged there. What a great CD!

I then bought THE JOURNEY and liked it even better. If there is a 20-best ELECTRIC guitar CDs ever made list, this needs to be on it and near the top of the list. The title song draws off of some of the native Australian rhythms and is classic.

Rarely in life do you find such a complete musician! He has mastered both the acoustic and electric guitar plus can play just about any janra (new age, jazz, rock, country) and sound good.

My family and friends are all musicians. Once I loaned ONLY and THE JOURNEY out they were like a brush fire. Everyone loved them. Next on the list is ENDLESS ROAD. I've heard good things about it also.

A much underated album - it deserves to be heard.......2004-12-06

This album sneaked into the UK without much of a fanfare. It seemed to be deleted quite soon after and yet it's surely nothing less than a tour de force in terms of guitar playing.

Like Satriani, Emmanuel can play fast and furious, or slow and mellow - but always with his eye on melody and structure. No frantic riffing just to show how fast he can dismember the fretboard. There is humour too - listen to the way track 1 starts and then develops. This is definitely an album to listen to if you enjoy unabashed, exurberant guitar playing.

Then contrast it with his recordings with Chet Atkins on the 'Guitar pickers' album.

This man has Versatility (with a capital 'V') in his fingertips. Listen and be amazed. But most of all --- enjoy.

One of the Best Fusion Artists Out There.......2004-02-08

This guy rocks steadily and hard. In the spirit of Rory Gallagher and John Zorn, with a bit of Stevie Ray thrown in. Whatever the influences, he's coming up with something new and fresh. For lovers of straight instrumental guitar, re Satriani, to Django, to Kotke, give this guy a chance. He will win you over!!

BEK

the journey.......2001-09-25

After seeing Tommy Emmanuel live, I have a greater respect
for his talent(s).I've owned 'The Journey,'since its initial
release;this isn't a consistently great disk...considering:
how amazing his Denver performance was!!!I can -at best-
rate this CD 4 stars.There are some wonderful songs, yet,
nothing to prepare you for his concerts.That being said, this is a CD of tremendous depth, and variety.RECOMMENDED!!!

One of the three best tracks ever recorded.......2000-02-09

It's been, what, 6 years since this album was released. I still consider track 5 "The Journey" to be one of the 3 best EVER recorded, the other two being Stairway to Heaven and Classical Gas by Mason Williams. I defy anyone not to get chills down their spine when it gets to the crescendo at the end!
