*** The second one is easier to explain, just containing some really beautiful and interesting acoustic guitar songs (and sometimes other instruments as well). Check out the Conversation Piece box set too.
*** The first one is a bit harder to explain but it’s just really really good regardless of what anyone says. Yeah it’s silly but just turn off your judgement and accept things don’t have to be good on paper in order to be good in your ears.
