The Enduring and the Ephemeral

by Steve Tyler

supported by

Tony Gerber I recently found Steve Tyler and this album. I am really digging Steve's gurdy compositions, and playing, as well as all the instruments he plays. It puts me squarely back to the early 70s, in a very positive way... It is not easy to pick a favorite track either. They all have such personality... Favorite track: Tierceron.
