This music release features a compilation of 15 performances by the world's most acclaimed fingerstyle acoustic guitarists, including Martin Simpson, Stefan Grossman, John Renourn and Jorma Kaukonen. Each profiled musician exhibits a slightly different style but carries direct ties (and owes a great debt) to the folk guitar per se. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Heavily-praised guitarist John Renborn - regarded around the world as one of the godfathers of British folk - is known for effectively, and fluidly, co-mingling influences from such disparate genres as jazz, blues, classical guitar and Eastern-tinged world music. The musician Stefan Grossman, on the other hand, trained at the hands of gospel guitar maestro Rev. Gary Davis and pulled predominantly from country blues. Those men team up for an electrifying joint session, before a live audience, in the performance film John Renbourn and Stefan Grossman in Concert 1982. Selections include: "Trotto," "English Dance" and "Goodbye Porkpie Hat." ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
