Reviews
Regardless of what song it was, Stanley's guitar playing sounded as a full orchestra, plus Chet Atkins, mind You! It was a pleasure listening to excellent arranged riffs, fills and interludes. There was fingerpicking bluegrass as if we were at The Station Inn in Nashville.

"Tíðin Rennur" is a respectable effort by a very capable musician. "Høgur Himin," for example, has a cool groove very reminiscent of J. J. Cale.
