Title Note

Solo performer: Michael Hedges (vocals, acoustic guitar, flute).

Producers: William Ackerman, Michael Hedges, Steven Miller, Elliot Mazer.

Compilation producer: Gretchen Brennison.

Recorded between 1981 & 1997. Includes liner notes by John Diliberto.

This is part of BMG Heritage's "Platinum & Gold Collection" series.

PLATINUM & GOLD COLLECTION is an excellent introduction to New Age acoustic guitar hero Michael Hedges. He was one of the first artists featured on the Windham Hill roster and remains a huge influence on young guitarists even after his tragic death in 1997. This stellar compilation pulls tracks from the seven albums produced during his lifetime, including three selections from his live concert recording LIVE ON THE DOUBLE PLANET.

Acclaimed as an acoustic guitar innovator, Hedges developed a tapping technique that allowed him to be his own rhythm section and create a veritable symphony from his hand-made acoustic guitar. This technique is showcased particularly well on "Oracle," an ornate track accented by the flourishes of Hedges's own expert flute work. Also included is his cover of Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" which retains its original melancholic tone while tapping into its urgency.
