Most Helpful Customer Reviews


Before Nick Webb teamed up with Greg Carmichael, he and Simon James created
Acoustic Alchemy. I was living in London when "Casino" came out and
remember loving it. These are -- except for the last cut -- early
recordings that had never been released in Album form. Like "Casino",
"Sarah Victoria" was re-recorded by the Webb/Carmichael partnership. None
of the others was. My personal favorites are "Slap it down" and "Les
Bercheres." I also like the new recording "Dream of Fair Women." Along with
"Reference Point" this is my favorite Acoustic Alchemy CD.


This is a collection of Nick Webb's early recordings with his original
partner, Simon James, who split to go solo and was replaced by Greg
Carmichael. Webb and James may have been calling themselves Acoustic
Alchemy, but really, AA didn't start as a stable and successful group until
Webb and Carmichael recorded their first album, red Dust and Spanish Lace,
in 1987; these tracks precede that. As Acoustic Alchemy's career
progressed, they added other instruments to accompany their steel and nylon
string guitars, but that was long after this. There is just about nothing
but acoustic guitar here. Try it.


I have been a fan of Acoustic Alchemy for years, but somehow never obtained
this, their first offering until 2006. I was surprised to learn that Greg
Carmichael was not on it. In fact they had not even met when this album was
issued. The "AA" sound however, is very evident through Nick Webb's
wonderful playing and writing, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this to
any AA fan or fan of the acoustic jazz genre.
