The Ark: Pierre Bensusan
Bensusan is a French North African guitar virtuoso with a flashy, intense fingerpicking style. His music is a sonorous instrumental blend of several idioms - jazz, bluegrass, Celtic, French folk, South American - woven around his wordless vocal stylings. The winner of the Grand Prix du Disque at age 17, he has released a series of LPs and CDs that have provoked comparisons to Doc Watson, Michael Hedges, and John Renbourn. $17.50.
