Album Review
Adam Pearson
Reviewed 2012-02-20
Solo instrumental acoustic guitar hypnotism. Guitar sounds range from acoustic steel guitar, six-string, bottleneck 10-string, and 5-string open-back banjo. Certainly brings Fahey, Jack Rose, James Blackshaw, Tompkins Square, et al. to mind. Songs are multi-part, visual journeys with great guitar textures. All tracks melodic, yet challenging and unique. Pretty stuff from the Takoma School of folk to break up your music set.

*1. Warm, sprightly spring morning. (8:05)
2. Forward jaunt with some more strumming. (4:58)
3. Banjo dark sweep. (2:53)
*4. Lazy, pretty feel. (5:24)
5. Lots of slide guit, old-time bluesy feel. (4:30)
*6. Dreamy slow harmonic tones, arpeggi, and strums. (5:20)
7. Upbeat bumpkin. (1:31)
*8. Sunny, bobby, rootsy, moonshine Blackshaw. (7:27)
9. Cool slammed syncopation. (4:26)
10. Lovely banjo chords. (2:07)
11. Experimental, varying percussion and cymbals throughout, urgent drive, and more processing, effects, tape manipulations. (17:48)
