More Info:

Wilco guitarist Nels Cline, recently named a -Guitar God- by Rolling Stone Magazine, presents a brilliant solo recording that traverses an extraordinarily broad range of musical styles with a surprising acoustic sensibility. The title COWARD is intentionally misleading, as this intensely personal album demonstrates a daring musicianship, and a willingness to take musical and emotional risks. COWARD is a musical tour de force.

Reviews:

The sometime Wilco sideman retreats into the studio on his own, burying himself in shape-shifting overdubs of acoustic and electric guitar (though surprisingly more of the former than the latter), not to mention dobro, lap steel and zither. The new material includes two ambitious suites, one a wild foray into micro-tonality.
