Mystical world-folk fusion by guitar virtuoso Steve Gunn and multi-instrumentalist Mike Gangloff. Lots of different flavors of rootsy, meditative music, all concocted overnight in a shack in rural Virginia.
RIYL Sandy Bull, Jack Rose, Ravi Shankar
1. (11:21) soft droning double-bass and wandering guitar licks, pre-dawn sleepwalking jazz
2. (5:30) slow, eerie scorched-earth slide guitar blues with haunting gongs and singing bowls
3. (4:32) beautiful tamboura (Indian drone lute) plays throbbing octaves while guitar wanders dreamily
4. (17:01) starts slow and builds into an epic raga-bluegrass showoff with soft percussion and harmonium
5. (3:09) old-timey bluegrass hoedown
