Furtado has gained respect through his impressive guitar playing and world-class banjo playing. He incorporates a deep understanding of traditional music with modern day music, creating a distinctive sound. Tony has been compared to Bela Fleck, Dave Matthews, and a modern Ry Cooder. These Chains, which follows two previous releases, promises to expose him to an even wider audience

Mixed Results - I m conflicted about this recording and new direction of Tony s. I love his instrumental treatments (lots of 5 star guitar, slide, and banjo here), but his songwriting leaves me a bit flat. It reminds me of Sam Bush s stuff (honest, sincere, unpretentious), but not as honed as Sam s. These songs veer just too close to mainstream pop/rock/country for my tastes. I would have liked to hear more intrumentals as he has so much talent for playing and interpreting great tunes. I just feel it s obscured and diluted here by his immature songcraft.For the committed fan - by all means get this and see the direction he s exploring now. For the new listener I d recommend any of his earlier recordings (especially like AMERICAN GYPSY -both the studio and live versions), and wait and see what he does next.
