History of Now

Preston Reed has virtually reinvented how the acoustic guitar is played. Reed practices a flamboyant 'self-invented' style, characterized by percussive techniques and simultaneous rhythm and melody lines that dance and ricochet around each other, giving his music a level of excitement that is unparalleled among today's guitarists. Playing an array of guitars from acoustic to electric to classical Reed's vast range of explosively original music will forever change your expectation of a guitarist. History Of Now is Reed's 4th UK release, and finds him exploring the range of instrumental and compositional possibilities to an even more exciting degree than before and is one of the most exhilarating guitar albums in recent memory. 14 tracks. Outer Bridge Music. 2005.
