Mystery

Blessed with an innate genius, Australian virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel plays the guitar with the ease of a first language. Never formally trained, this musician has mastered the intricate art of "finger picking," in which the guitarist uses all 10 fingers, in a piano-playing approach to the guitar. Plucking his first set of strings at the tender age of 4, Emmanuel embarked on a career spanning over 30 decades.

The latest installment in his extensive music collection, "Mystery" continues to astound fans and peers with equal intensity. Dominated by heartfelt instrumentals such as the fiery, Spanish-inspired "Cantina Senese," the Western romp, "Game show Rag/Cannonball" and the meditative "Digger's Waltz" the album also features a tender duet "Walls." Emmanuel, also a skilled percussionist, had played for the "Queen of Rock & Roll," Tina Turner, and with legends like Eric Clapton and John Denver. A musical experience not to be missed.
