With the recent SACD talk here about prices soaring on some hard to get discs, I decided to browse through Amazon just to see what was out there.

Came across 6- and 12-String Guitar by Leo Kottke. Had a chance to listen to it last night and was fairly amazed at how good it sounded. It sounds like he's got twenty fingers plucking and strumming his steel-string guitar. Sounds like the microphone was very close to the instrument--all sorts of nuances of the strings vibrating and his fingers working the fret come through.

Didn't try it in multichannel, just stereo.
