"Guitarist and singer Arlen Roth's 'Slide Guitar Summit' is an all-star showcase for a catalog of slide guitar styles, but it is not really a summit because all the star power he gathers never really converges. Rather, the CD is a series of duets with the leader. Roth, however, should be given credit for bringing together a stellar and diverse array of talent that delivers a program ranging from acoustic and electric blues to western swing, and from Southern rock and country to spirituals ... 'Slide Guitar Summit' is a celebration of a guitar technique that has found a home across the spectrum of American roots music and is confirmation that Arlen Roth is a guitar master who knows how to pick (and pick with) his friends".
