KEVIN FERGUSON / SUBTLE HINT:

WORLD PROGRESSIVE

Ferguson's latest CD release, "SUBTLE HINT," has nearly 80 minutes of 20 new recordings including fiery electric guitar renditions of classical and exotic world tunes as in his first and second CD's respectively, as well as entering new territory with originals in a mix of genres featuring instrumentals of electric and acoustic guitars with the varied accompaniment of electric bass, drums, tablas and other hand percussion, violin, cello, sax and other instruments.
