Opus One Review

The kind of finger-picking Ed Henderson does on his second solo album, Guitar Wall, hmm, I could listen to it forever. His moods are mellow-relaxed or mellow up-beat, his textures inventive and varied, and his technique is solid… “Catch the train” really rips along in a tribute to Lenny Breau and Chet Atkins and shows that though he likes to go slow, deep and soulfull, Ed can play as fast as anybody… Henderson has the lyric gift and his guitars sing in a way that recalls the jongleurs and balladeers of long ago… his message is mature and well worth the listening.
