SAM PACETTI has achieved a dazzling command of the
steel-string guitar. Not only does Sam play well - he sings well too. Plus he's
also a songwriter and includes orginals in his music mix. A mesmerizing live
performer, Sam seamlessly melds head-spinning guitar pyrotechnics and raw
emotion into one breathtaking package. Tradition and innovation neatly balance
in Sam's music, the whole infused by a relentless intelligence. Martin Simpson
and Merle Travis are touchstones, and while there are strong elements of the Leo
Kottke/John Renbourn school of guitar wizardry throughout his work, there is a
powerful raw emotionality evident as well - an earthy sensuality more
reminiscent of a Greg Brown or a red-dirt blues master than of a musical
academic.
