"Randy Armstrong is a one-man wonder. His ability to play more than 200 instruments from around the world, as well as his degree in composition and world music, all shine through on No Regrets. Although Armstrong is primarily a guitarist, and a fantastic one at that, his rhythmic skills also are impeccable. Drawing from sitar, Lakota courting flute, djembe, and tabla to round out his sound, he presents a polished set of guitar-based themes on No Regrets." - New Age Retailer "I have been a fan of Randy Armstrong for quite some time and was thrilled to receive his new CD, No Regrets. Every track is a gem and the whole CD is a showcase for the talents of this multi-instrumentalist. This one is spinning constantly. No Regrets...nope, not one!" - Karen Larson, WERU-FM "A sure-fingered guitar virtuoso." - Boston Globe "Randy Armstrong is a virtuoso of versatility." - NH Magazine "A sonic joyride from start to finish." - Portsmouth Herald All songs composed and arranged by Randy Armstrong published by Crimson Ark Music, BMI ©2002 except Blue In Green by Miles Davis and Crystal Silence by Chick Corea Produced, recorded and mixed by Randy Armstrong at UMP Recording Studio, Nottingham, NH except Tribute II recorded at Sunset Ridge Recording Studio, Hampton Falls, NH engineered by Chris Biggi Mastering by Mac Ritchey at Possum Hall Recording Studio Acoustic Guitars handcrafted by Michael Jacobson-Hardy Classical Guitar by Guillermo del Pilar Multiac synth-guitar by Godin Guitars Mbira by Dennis Capodestria Lakota Courting Flure by Todd A.
