I didn't realize there was a first collection of this music until I saw Sounds of Wood & Steel 2 so I bought it to see what it was like. My husband and I love it! We enjoy the way the artists describe the reasoning behind the songs they chose as well as knowing what make and key their Taylor was played in. I particularly enjoyed Richie Sambora's sound due to the description of the song's origination. I plan on ordering the first collection since we have enjoyed this one so much. This is wonderful music to enjoy your day or evening by. It's sure to please anyone who plays guitar or just loves to hear that awesome sound.
