Nylon and Steel is an instrumental album that
showcases Easton's acoustic guitar virtuosity and
exceptional composition on both steel-string and
nylon-string guitars over its 10 tracks. Pop jazz yes, but
not your generic, cookie-cutter smooth jazz release by any
means. Nylon and Steel makes for great easy
listening or background music.
The opening nylon-string acoustic track "Lullaby for
Leslie" creates a soothing mood with an upbeat sound all its
own. The instrumental version of "When You Tell Me 'I Love
You'" (the vocal version appears on Snapshots)
features Easton's tasty melodic riffs. Another highlight is
the steel-string "Entice Me," which is one of the more
up-tempo, jazzy tracks on the album.
