He's the great Aussie Tommy Emmanuel, considered the best acoustic guitarist in the world, and as great of a showman as he is a picker. He's in the Pickers' Hall of Fame along with Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed. I try and go see Tommy whenever he comes to Kentucky. As amazing as he is, he has flown under the radar of the mainstream media over the years. A few years ago he was supposed to appear on The Tonight Show with Chet Atkins, but Chet took it upon himself to pass away before that could happen. Tommy is tight with Keith Urban and others Nashville stars, but I do wonder if he just does not care about becoming a household name.
