Critics call Chris Proctor's guitar playing "breathtaking," "haunting," and "rich." They describe his compositions as "spectacular," "elegant," and "exquisite." They trace the roots of his style to folk, jazz, pop, and classical music, and, when all else fails, they try and categorize his playing as "baroque folk," or "Instrumental Americana." The guitar press compares him to Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges. Another reviewer ventures this analysis: "In his taut, faceted compositions, Chris gives the guitar sole responsibility for a piece's rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic components, and in the process creates full-voiced 'guitar songs.' His playing illuminates the instrument's deepest voices and most sonorous qualities, rendering a pop-folk equivalent of the classical guitar sonata."
These luminous and diverse descriptives typify the first-time listener's response to Chris Proctor's innovative world of the instrumental, steel-string fingerstyle guitar. Original music, if it really lives up to its name, is always hard to classify, stewed from a unique set of ingredients, stirred by the writer's creative imagination, and defying easy categorization, but here's more of what listeners say about Chris Proctor. read more
