Masada Guitars

The tracks are split between three performers: Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell and Tim Sparks.

Allmusic music critic Sean Westergaard stated "Those expecting an electric romp through the Masada songbook might be disappointed; Masada Guitars consists entirely of solo, mostly acoustic performances.

Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell, and Tim Sparks each bring their own voice to these tunes: Sparks with his rich fingerpicking, Ribot coming from his classical guitar background, and Bill Frisell with his unmistakable ethereal tone.

That's a lot of samey acoustic guitar to wade through, and the fact that it's all pretty doesn't justify the length.

He calls Sparks' arrangements "rigorous and exciting", Ribot as "plain-spoken" and Frisell the "maverick" of the three.
