"Unplugged journey"...the name of this Koka Media music library CD speaks for itself. I played lots of acoustic " guitars of the world" (dobro, all types of guitars, our, banjo, mandolin, pedal-steel, balalaika....) Only live musicians recording here ! I did only one solo album for Koka but this one is definitively a winner. I'm sure you already heard some tracks sometime, it s still played extensively all around the globe, for documentaries, commercials, radio and TV...
