Reviews:
“Improvisations for Guitar and Charango, released earlier this year via Bud Tapes, is an enchanting
listen that explodes the sepia-toned American primitive finger-picked approach to his chosen
instrument into spectacular, colorful explosions of notes and drones.”
— Robert Ham, Willamette Week
“William DeLee is one of the most proficient [guitar] pickers in Portland, Oregon and his debut tape showcases his familiarity with the guitar and the charango, a small 10-string instrument (originally made from armadillo shells) along with his keen ear for improvisation and play. Exuberance and lush textures explode from the strings between DeLee's fingers while taking the listener through dynamic peaks and valleys of sound.”
— Emmet Martin, Budtapes / Water Shrews l
