A familiar figure at Irish sessions around London where he lived in the late '70s, Baker applied his considerable arranging talents to the music he heard around him, extending the American fingerpicking vocabulary as he delved into the roots of Celtic music. Baker's complex arrangements strive to maintain not only the melodic elegance of Irish music but also its drive and passion. Considered a classic by guitar afficionados since its original issue in 1980 'Kid on the mountain' remains a high point in the career of one of the most important contemporary finger stylists.
