    Press Reviews
    By Dan McAvinchey at www.Guitar9.com For a powerful journey into the world of acoustic solo guitar, look no further than South Carolina based Tom Yoder's CD entitled, "Eat this It's Safe". Featuring eleven instrumental compositions, the music on the reco rding is unpredictable, vibrant and dynamically colorful, while delivered within a lush melodic framework. No words are necessary; the emotional and lyrical content can be found emanating from one of the two Taylor acoustics that Yoder used on the projec t. Highlights include "Mashu Mashu" (which was recently selected as a finalist in the New Age category by the Independent Music Awards),"94 Letters" and "Jennah", the last piece closing the CD on a winsome and soul-stirring note. Serious guitar music th at can touch a broad audience-many players strive for it, but few attain such a lofty goal. We believe Yoder may have done it with "Eat This It's Safe". By Jennifer Layton at www.indie-music.com You gotta admire a guy who's centered enough to post r ejection letters on his web site. But through the easy going attitude projecting from his press kit and pictures, Tom Yoder takes his music seriously, and his debut "Eat This It's Safe" is the proof. This isn't just a guy noodling around on a guitar. H e unlocks its secrets. He turns it into a warm acoustic folk/rock symphony. Every track on this instrumental CD is different. The music breathes and dances. In "Burning Neuro Pathways", the music is lying in wait, rapid, pulsing, ready to spring. "Au tumn" is moody and windy, and "Wind Rag" is earthy country strumming. The whole CD echoes Yoder's environment; it feels like sitting on the beach on a warm evening, a blanket wrapped around my shoulders, watching the waves. By Steve Ross-Elliott at www.acousticguitarworkshop.com Tom Yoder's CD is an exquisite collection of acoustic guitar instrumentals. His CD "Eat This It's Safe" showcases his phenomenal compositional and fingerstyle talents. Yoder bears comparison with the likes of Hedges,. Bensusan and Kottke. The fingerstyle force is strong with this one! l
