It opens with the crisp and catchy “I’m America,” which instantly lures the listener in this eight-track collection. It is followed by the mid-tempo and sultry title track “Behind This Guitar,” and “The Itch,” which is bluesy and stirring. Equally impressive is the downtempo “Love One Another” and the enthralling “Smokey Places.”
After a distinct, remarkable flamenco acoustic version of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” it closes with a refreshing version of his classic holiday tune, “Feliz Navidad,” where he leaves his fans wanting to hear more.
Behind This Guitar is available on Apple Music and on Spotify.
