Review:

“…believe me – when he “covers” James Taylor (“Fire and Rain”), The Beatles (“Here Comes the Sun”) or Bob Dylan (“Just Like a Woman”), Havens reveals a whole new soul within the songs…. A wonderful instructional program from a master guitarist, this is highly recommended. Editor’s Choice.” – Video Librarian
