FAME Reviews by Mark O'Donnell, Folk and Music Exchange
Edited by: David Schultz/2003, Peterborough Folk Music Society

...Gilewitz knows the difference between the two forms of acoustic-guitar mastery and falls firmly in the roots-based camp where he has, more than any other current player, moved the genre into the 90s with his own accomplished vision, technique, and mastery of melody.

JAM Reviews - Florida's Music Magazine

It's one thing when guitar virtuoso Leo Kottke does a Florida man proud by covering his song; it's a whole 'nother ball of wax when a proud Florida man turns the tables and covers Leo Kottke, John Fahey and Jorma Kaukonen... Highly recommended.

OPTION - Michael Davis

Acoustic guitarist Gilewitz is a musician's musician. He doesn't rush his attack; he makes the most of each note. He seems to embody the traditional values ofthe guitar and shows what can be accomplished when you do... This is folk guitar, pure and not-so-simple.
