About Me |
|
| "Volk is a rare player, one who transcends merely fast fret-work or
gee-whizz histrionics by his ability to use the instrument as a conveyance. Volk is not only a highly skilled but an extremely passionate player, with the heart and smarts to produce terrific performances. In Jim Volk there is the rare ability to select discerningly from a wide, multi-hued musical palette and the talent to mate those elements with bold design and solid musicianship. The results are often wonderful; sturdy enough to propel an entire audience, yet laced with gossamer voicings that set easily within a muscular, percussive rhythmic sensibility. Listening to Volk play is an active undertaking; he gives his all in a high-altitude, high-energy ride that will satisfy and sate the most jaded folk-acoustic ear."
Cleveland Free Times
"...exhilaratingly original. Volk takes an instrument that has been played for hundreds of years and twists and turns it into an exciting, pulsating form of music."
Jim Volk is a Modern Acoustic master.
Dayton Impact Weekly"communicates the purity of a masterful guitarist whose thoughtful melodies make audible a new approach to guitar music. Beyond its shear lucid intensity, Volk's playing is hauntingly captivating, remarkable, and brilliantly crafted. "
