(February 2018) I have completed episode 157 of my “opus project,” in which I listen to an artist’s full discography. This edition: MICHAEL HEDGES. I still get amazed by the wizardry of his “violent acoustic” guitar — two-handed hammer-ons, thumping, harmonics, etc. But when he adds vocals it ruins the magic.

Favorite album: Aerial Boundaries

Favorite song: Aerial Boundaries
