"Your ears will hang on every notes as he effortlessly weaves lyrical melodies into huge fingerstyle texture, Morone reminds you how truly boundless the fretboard is. Plus, Morone's intonation is perfect, and althought his chops are monstrous, they never distract from the music. If you dig Michael Hedges, you'll love Running Home."
Jude Gold - Guitar Player, May 2002

 


 

"Morone has one of most identifiable sounds of anyone playing fingerstyle guitar today"
Teja Gerken - Acoustic Guitar, March 2002

 


 

"I had the good fortune of wandering into the Taylor Guitars booth at the 2001 Winter NAMM Show and hearing this artist for the first time. What an amazing performance! Franco plays solo acoustic guitar in a variety of styles. He has impeccable "feel", and the ability to play lush chord arrangements and melody at the same time. Check out especially his 1998 CD, Melodies of Memories."
Randy Omel

 


 

"The fluid, emotive, fingerstylings of Bologna, Italy's Franco Morone, whose passionate playing won the hearts of the listeners and prompted the first-ever encore among Taylor's NAMM show performers."
Wood & Steel Magazine, Feb. 2001
