That's quite a billing, but having seen both Phil Keaggy and Wes King live, it obvious that at least two of the artists have more than enough chops to back it up.

At one point in time, King traveled to India and studied with a guru of Eastern music to learn his unique approach to the guitar. The only explanation of Keaggy's genius must be that he was abducted by an extremely musical race of aliens. I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing Dente's work before listening to this record.

As a whole, the collection sounds similar to Keaggy's 220 record, perhaps indicating that as the elder picker, he was the strongest musical force. Still, King's sitar-esque lines shine through on "The Moors Of Bellvue," a rocker that crescendos with each player trading off super charged lead guitar licks. This is interesting because these guys are primarily known for acoustic abilities. In fact, this is the first recording featuring King on electric.

The song selections are a mix of vocal tracks and instrumentals. The vocal songs seem lyrically trite and musically much weaker than the instrumentals. The instrumentals collectively provide a brilliant blend of influences, ranging from rock to blues to "world music" to new age.

In a nutshell, this record provides something for anyone who appreciates virtuoso guitar playing.
