• Critical Reception

  "No matter what sort of music he plays, his amazing technique has been Hunter's calling card since he started recording in the mid-1990s. Armed with a seven-string guitar, he possesses the unique ability to sound like at least two guitarists at once, as he seems to play bass lines, melody lines, chords and improvisational passages at the same time."MPR: Guitarist Charlie Hunter: Serve The Music First (January 6, 2009)
