Title: talented, but not timeless
Review: Many fingerstyle acoustic guitar players seem to gravitate to displaying their technical talent rather than writing great songs. Preston is a great player, but the compositions are rather empty. It seems that in most cases a catchy guitar riff generated the songs, not the desire to write a good song. Many of the sounds and riffs are simple guitar tricks that sound cool but are generated by and limited by the instrument. The showing off grows old quickly. Check out Laurence Juber or Michael Hedges if a you seek acoustic guitar work with more substance that is more about the music and less about showing off an instrument.
