Michael Hedges
Biography:
Michael Hedges was not only a master of the acoustic guitar, but also a gifted composer. His albums were released by Windham Hill Records (and sometimes included a flute), resulting in Hedges being viewed as a New Age artist. However, Hedges wasn't so easy to classify and his music incorporated many elements of rock, jazz and even classical. He often joked that his style was "New Edge" or "Heavy Mental". Guitar Player Magazine went so far as to call Hedges the "Hendrix of the steel-string acoustic". Sadly, Hedges was killed in an automobile accident at age 43.
