“From An Old Guitar….consistently enlightening and even inspirational listening experience..“

American Songwriter

“There’s a little something from everywhere in the musical spectrum, enough muddy roots to plant a forest of guitars.”

No Depression

“…this could be one of Alvin’s best.”

Glide Magazine

“I consider myself extremely lucky to have had such a stellar collection of musicians to make some noise with, and to say that I’m proud of the performances on this release would be a gigantic understatement,” adds Alvin. “And, yeah, of course, I played beat up, old guitars on all the songs. I sincerely hope you enjoy these songs (and the musicians/singers bringing them to life). These recordings may be rare, unreleased, or little heard, but I’m very proud of them, and they hold a very special, warm place in my heart. Just like my old guitars.”
