Once again, renowned guitarist Ken Navarro puts on a consummate display of guitar mastery as he steers his instrument and his unique stylings through an array of colors and emotions on this very impressive new release for 2023 “Love Is Everywhere”.

This is Navarro’s 27th album release and it is striking that his songs and his guitar work continue to explore a range of emotions and a depth of musicianship that only comes from committing a lifetime to creating original music and a personal sound. The album begins with “A Little Kiss” followed by the title track. The beauty and magic of these 2 songs alone are worth the price of admission. Yet he follows them with “Romance Among The Ruins”, a tour de force suite of acoustic and electric guitar work which takes the listener on a multi faceted journey. For “3 Sundays”, Navarro composes for his nylon string guitar, a string quartet and a jazz trio. It is immediately recognizable as a Ken Navarro song yet it is like nothing else out there. “The View From Here” is a Prince-like groove featuring virtuoso drummer Bruce Guttridge (Jeff Berlin) and Ken’s driving acoustic guitars. The album ends with a trio of songs which share the story of loss, recovery and acceptance - “Burning Bridges”, a thrilling display of Navarro’s electric guitar skills and his deep connection to the blues, “Now That You’ve Gone”, which pairs his acoustic guitar with a string orchestra and “Understanding”, a gorgeous duet for 2 nylon strings guitars, closing this special album on a soulful, optimistic note.
