Album lore

Mrs. Crowe’s Blue Waltz, issued by Columbia/Legacy in March 1993, collects twelve acoustic fingerstyle compositions from Adrian Legg. The album’s twelve tracks, including “Kinvarra’s Child” and the title waltz, reveal Legg’s deft command of the guitar, blending intricate picking with a nuanced touch. Recorded during an era when fingerstyle guitar was more often the province of home recordings or niche labels, this release brought Legg’s craft to a wider audience.The album’s twelve pieces range from lively reels to gentle waltzes, each carrying the resonance of Legg’s distinct approach. Tracks like “Brooklyn Blossom” and “Paddy Goes To Nashville” showcase a blend of traditional and original motifs, while “Gebrauchmusik II” hints at a classical influence. The record remains a subtle artifact of early ’90s acoustic guitar artistry, prized among those who seek finely wrought instrumental work beyond the mainstream canon.
