The book traces his early years with his father in Buenos Aires, to the love of his life, his wife Olga, and his life as one of the world's great classical guitar virtuosos and composers. The Maestro also shares, with blunt honesty, his thoughts on many subjects not often expected or heard in these politically correct times.

Through tragedy and loss, Jorge Morel continues to compose and perform. His positive outlook on life and art and his authentic values are truly one of a kind. The book tells his story and contains 21 of Jorge Morel’s great pieces and arrangements (nine new compositions published for the first time!). In the words of the Maestro - 'This is the definitive work on my life and my music!'

A must for South American guitar fans. For some 30 years, they embodied 'country blues' for folk music audiences around the globe. Sonny Terry (1911-1986) and Brownie McGhee (1915-1996) were once ubiquitous, and as such tended to be taken for granted in the halcyon days of the 1960s blues rediscoveries. But nearly two decades have passed since the perennial team parted, and the 16 performances here remind us of this superb duo's complementary strengths. Titles include: ‘John Henry’, ‘Easy Rider’, ‘Fighting a Losing Battle’, ‘Couldn't Believe My Eyes’, ‘Red River Blues’, ‘Crow Jane’, ‘Backwater Blues’, ‘Life is a Gamble’, ‘My Father's Words’, ‘Walking My Blues Away’, ‘Whoopin' the Blues’, ‘Walk On’, ‘Ride Ride Ride’, ‘Burnt Child (Afraid of Fire)’, ‘Born With The Blues’, ‘Rock Island Line’.
