An amazing guitar CD

I'm so happy to see this on itunes! I purchased this CD about two years ago and I am still in awe of it. I'm a fan of all types of guitar music: shred, acoustic...whatever. But none of my guitar CDs has come close to matching the emotional power of this John Mills CD. The compositions aren't incredibly technical (though this isn't to say that John can't play...he's a fantastic fingerpicker), but they show a keen sense of songwriting. John knows exactly what notes to play and what notes not to play. And he knows how to play them with emotion. Listen to Rhea's song (on another note, John has another disc in which he plays Rhea's song with only the guitar, and it is my favorite version). The emotion in that composition has been one of my favorite listening experiences in quite some time, and everyone who hears the song agrees.
Please John, make some more music!
