Michael Young
Parallel Play
American Sketch Records
4 out of 5 stars
The third release from Michael Young may be his most broadly appealing album to date. The fingerstyle guitarist conjures up a Leo Kottke, but is clearly his own artist drawing on classical, folk, rock and blues melodies.
One of the album’s most shining moments is Young’s performance (which are all instrumental) of the traditional tune “Cripple Creek.” It takes a second to get it, but it sounds familiar from the initial notes and truly highlights Young’s incredible playing ability. He’d be a great fit at Folks Fest.

I would like to purchase some CDs of Michael Young on recorder — we saw him on Sat. in Alexandria; but he was not there on Sunday.
Please let me know where they are located for purchase.
