    "A fingerstyle wizard, Tim Sparks draws from many musical traditions on One String Leads To Another. Strains of Celtic, country blues, ragtime, Appalachian, Turkish, and Italian melodies all find their way into Sparks' solo originals. It takes a ski...lled musician-as oppossed to guitarist-to weave such diverse rhythmic and harmonic threads into whole cloth, yet Sparks makes it happen.Whether thumbing a bass-note drone against bluesy double-stops and sitar-like bends, plucking sheets of rippling arpeggios, or playing counterpoint lines at breakneck speed, Sparks is remarkably adventurous-and that's what separates him from the pack. There are many skilled solo-acoustic guitarists making CDs today, but few can match Sparks' verve and intensity. On this live and natural-sounding record, we hear a restless, probing mind, rather than a series of refined techniques." Read more Less

  • All Music Guide

    Building on his tradition of producing gorgeous world-folk influenced solo guitar music, with One String Leads to Another, Tim Sparks has issued another winner. Rather than merely imitating one particular style throughout a certain song, he instead absorbs the techniques and melodies of many different cultures and fuses them together to make them his own.
