Steve Hicks - A Thing Made Of Rags

Hicks seamlessly closes off his first album “The Rag Trade” with “A Thing Made Of Rags”.

The fingerstyle virtuoso from England has made a well-rounded CD with mostly classic ragtimes, evergreens, and transcriptions of pieces by Duke Ellington, Bruce Cockburn, Scott Joplin, or arrangements, like the famous Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Johannes Brahms. For friends of fingerpicking, and ragtime in particular, this album is an acoustic delight.  Once again, Hicks enchants his listeners with his filigree technique and the lightness of his performance, which is unrivaled in the guitar world.
