The folks at Encore write glowingly about Bensusan's CD, "He's like the Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic set. Resonating with humble, quiet brilliance, Bensusan's intricate fingerwork and cross-genre inspiration presaged what is now widely known as 'world music'. It's the perfect sound to accompany sunlight as it streams through your window." - Instrumental Guitar
