Adam Levy
Acoustic Guitar Solo on
Lonestar

About

Adam Levy's acoustic guitar solo is the sole improvisation on "Lonestar" from Norah Jones's 2001 debut Come Away with Me. Levy switches from his customary electric guitar to acoustic on this Lee Alexander composition, soloing at a relaxed 92 BPM in C with a straight feel. The acoustic timbre brings a different warmth to the solo compared to Levy's electric work elsewhere on the album, complementing the song's evocative, rootsy character. Alexander, who also served as bassist on the album, wrote the composition with a spacious, open quality that Levy's acoustic phrasing enhances naturally.

Adam Levy was 34 to 35 years old at the time.
