Bill Nelson - Rosewood (Ornaments and Graces for Acoustic Guitar) Vol. 01 & Vol. 02 [2005]

William Nelson (born 18 December 1948 in Wakefield, West Riding of Yorkshire, England) is an English singer, guitarist, songwriter, producer, painter, video artist, writer and experimental musician. He rose to prominence as the chief songwriter, vocalist and guitarist of the rock group Be-Bop Deluxe, which he formed in 1972. Nelson has been described as "one of the most underrated guitarists of the seventies art rock movement". In 2015, he was recognized with the Visionary award at the Progressive Music Awards.

This project concentrates on acoustic guitar instrumentals but is more than just the usual 'unplugged' confections served up as rustic fodder for suburban hillbillies these days. It is a direct linear development from the Dreamland To Starboard album and sets Bill's acoustic guitar in an ambient soundscape that suggests a jazz and contemporary classical context as well as a broader neo-roots music vibe.

Following in the footsteps of the first Rosewood CD, Volume 2 features another collection of acoustic guitar instrumentals with a difference. Processed with electricity and veiled in ambience, this set takes a more tuneful approach to a new musical conclusion. (Amazon)
