Louis is a go-to guy for film and TV soundtracks. On this disc he demonstrates his versatility for several different styles and moods. Each track is short – just enough to put behind that tender moment on the TV drama or that car chase on the big screen.

"Lou is a great technical player on guitar and the other fretted instruments he plays. In turn, this allows him to play his music with expression and feeling. In addition to being a refreshing change, his music is still accessable to a mainstream audience".

The honest and sensitive nature of his music is far above the norm.Being a first rate player of all types of guitars and related instruments provides him with a unique advantage for any type of score.
