“Benjamin Woolman’s debut cd, lost in density, is a fun trip down a road first traveled by Michael Hedges and Preston Reed. But Woolman is his own man, and while this release will please fans of the aforementioned guitarists, there is enough originality here to warrant your attention!”
Jim Olschmidt, Acoustic Guitar Magazine
“...the pensive, fireside melody of Soul Discovery(from his CD lost in density)reflect Woolman the composer, while Sweet Sound rocks with a catchy hook that sticks in the mind’s ear long after the laser beam leaves the disc.”
Music Design In Review
“From cascading melodies to mellow harmonies and occasional up-beat interplay, Woolman’s musical touch is brimming with introspective delight. Woolman, a featured guitarist on the Narada Records’ Guitar Fingerstyle collection, proves he is worthy of all the praise with this dynamic release.”
Geoff Trubow, City Edition Metro Milwaukee’s News and Entertainment Voice
“...Woolman’s, lost in density, is an emotional voyage led only by the complex, yet engaging, soloing of his six-string guitar. It isn’t really a manic collection, it just paints the peaks and valleys of moods graphically; engulfed in shades of beauty and feeling...his playing draws listeners in.”
From the liner notes of Guitar Fingertyle:
A Narada Collection
“A warm, crisp sound and clever, tight writing, clearly establish Woolman as a young guitarist to be reckoned with.”
Bridge Guitar Reviews
“…Castle Walk has a nice reflective, intimate feeling which fully absorbs the listener...Ben Woolman excels when he plays solo on his captivating, intimate and melancholic compositions...the album, Wisdom / Delusion, reflects a master of finger-style playing.”
Guitar Nine Records
“…The eleven tracks on Wisdom / Delusion shiver and surge with melodic and rhythmic intensity, involving and engaging the listener on several levels at once. Tunes such as Sunday Shine and Chasing A Melody are rhythmically buoyant numbers that can be heard numerous times, reflecting the artist’s experience and maturity as a songwriter and guitar player.”
