Digital Booklet
On this album, Elliot Simpson plays a guitar invented in 2002 by the godfather of world music, Lou Harrison, to present music written for a folk guitar tuned in pure intonation. Exquisite harmonies and melodies, previously unheard, burst from this special steel guitar on material that is at once captivating, tuneful, mournful, exuberant, startling and downright addictive.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
