You have me curious about seeing Marisa Anderson in DC

Wednesday May 7
Washington DC
Bathtub Republic
3119 11th st nw
w/Marian McLaughlin

Thursday May 8
Baltimore MD
Calvert St House Concert
1222 N. Calvert St

Man she is great. Check out some stuff online though, you'll either see the benefits of checking her out or it won't be your thing, but she is undoubtedly good at doing her thing, and seeing it live made me like even more than I already did. Cool person all around.

been a really good show month so far

Yeah man, that is a good run Neal. Looking like a dry spell here for a while, hope it picks up (but we had a great stretch for a while there so can't complain too much).

Well, somehow Steve Gunn mangages to just keep rolling, can't keep up (don't have the Gunn/Gangloff record yet, has a new solo coming out this year too I think). This duo w/ Mike Cooper is sounding really nice, makes me think this is gonna be another winner of a record:

Two good articles from AdHoc regarding Bussard and Charlie Schmidt:

http://adhoc.fm/post/bussard/

http://adhoc.fm/post/beginners-mind-look-charlie-schmidt-faheys-protege/

I'd be curious to hear Schmidt's album, I didn't even know he really recorded much of his own stuff honestly.

Enjoyed the Bussard one well enough, haven't dug into the Schmidt one. Gonna get to that today.

Daniel Bachman posted a download of a tape that Bussard passed him and a buddy of masters of an "unknown artist". Fun thing to dig into, and if Bussard doesn't know who it is probably knowledge that is gone forever: http://danbachblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/joe-bussard-tape-unknown-artist-1927.html

Vaguely Bussard-related: did everyone see the Geeshie Wilie/Elvie Thomas piece in the NYT? Dazzling stuff: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/04/13/magazine/blues.html

Had a couple of listens to the new Sir Richard Bishop and it's really lovely. Only £2.50 for a download on Boomkat, too: https://boomkat.com/downloads/975182-sir-richard-bishop-solo-acoustic-vol-8

i got the first schmidt album, xanthe terra, sounds really great, very straight, melodic, has a nice take on grieg's hall of the mountain king or whatever it's called

a bit of chatter about that ny times piece on one of the old time music threads. definitely one of the more amazing music stories I've read in a long time.
think i'm going to be reviewing some of those recent VDSQ LPs -- looking forward to it!
you guys checked this one out? http://ghostcapital.org/peter-finger-bottleneck-guitar-solos-kicking-mule-km-116-1973/
pretty pleasant fingerpicking from germany in the 70s (produced by stefan grossman). not mindblowing but very nice.

also kind of amazing that the dude's name is "peter finger" -- he was born to fingerpick.

Nominative determinism in full effect :)

this pic of bussard from bachman's blog is amazing

Hah yeah man that is an ace photo. Still haven't listened to the tracks from the tape yet.

wonder who schmidt is thinking of when he complains about "underwhelming, half-baked finger pickers"

ha yeah and "audiences applauding wildly for what?" Not really my experience at these shows...

he is talking about mid 00s though, not really most of the guys itt

also neal I just checked my email, will get back to you shortly!

who are the 'mid 2000s' guys though? the only thing i can come up with in terms of instrumental guitar that's completely obnoxious is the harmonic slap n tap kind of drivel, but i don't know if that's a mid 2000s phenomenon specifically. and i wouldn't describe players like that as 'half baked' either, those kinds of dudes are typically 100 percent committed to their tripe

yeah i mean, there's jack rose and glenn jones at that point who were doing the more straightforward stuff. who else was doing it at that point?

Oh I think there were plenty of folks. Harris Newman (on Strange Attractors even), Chasny was put in this category for a while, maybe Matt Valentine would have been one, plenty of others, but my guess is that Schmidt is just kind of slagging stuff out of hand, as he might if he is a real Fahey accolyte.

Now, who would have been getting "audiences applauding wildly" I wouldn't really know, cause as Tyler says that isn't my experience with most shows like this, but one can always hope.

I was gonna say, I'm hoping he wasn't talking about Jack Rose

Dylan Golden Aycock - really cool, meditative stuff

http://scissortail.bandcamp.com/album/rise-and-shine

apparently he owns the label that reissued the Hired Hand Bruce Langhorne thing

http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/articles/16690/desperate-man-blues

Entertaining and long 1999 Washington City Paper feature on Bussard written by Eddie Dean who has penned books on country

Oh that looks cool, thanks Curmudgeon. Interested to read something from before the internet/fingerstyle guitar revival really kicked in!

I love that Hired Hand record! Found it in a bin, was intrigued by the cover. Ended up buying it and I'm really glad.

I really like the Aycock record. Very pretty and just gloomy enough.

The FRKWYS Gunn/Cooper album looks very nice.

I mentioned Dylan Aycock upthread a ways and mentioned his other projects as well, I defiantly recommend anyone to check out those too. Talk West is probably his most known moniker-project.

The next batch at Cabin Floor Esoterica includes a release of Dylan's and some really nice sounding guitar work of Matt Lajoie, the guy behind Herbcraft for any psych dudes in here.

Dylan Golden Aycock 'Sharp As A Razor/Soft As A Prayer', CFE 2014
Matt Lajoie 'Loser (Garcia)', CFE 2014
Rag Lore 'Misr Environs Excerpt', CFE 2014

Thanks Neal, gonna dig into those when I get a chance. Haven't fully resonated with Herbcraft yet, but seems like it would be my thing, gonna give that Lajoie a good listen.

Guys my John Fahey t shirt got a hole in it

Thanks for your support during this difficult time

Is it right above your heart?

Like those covers a lot, and not familiar with Emory at all. "good guitar ..."

those look intriguing

rare Peter Lang show this Saturday in Minneapolis at a local brewery for the NE Mpls Art-A-Whirl fest....global hipped me to it! very exciting!

please tell me this is the same marc emory
...google searching doesn't turn up much besides WFMU/ebay listings/and ILX posts

where to grab these albums?

the streams from wfmu sound really promising, would love to hear the rest of these

Hallock Hill who was mentioned upthread a bit did a live set for WFMU last week - on the Airborne Event show. He had Tim Noble from the Lowland Hundred along with him. Really nice set - if anything slightly more dissonant than his usual stuff: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/55533

I've been listening to the Mike Cooper reissues a fair bit (perfect timing for the Steve Gunn collab) - really excellent records. Largely folk rock forms but with some more 'out' elements. Great studio line up, too, featuring Alan Skidmore, Stefan Grossman and 'The Heron' among others.

yeah, those mike cooper reissues are something else! never heard of him before, but they are really interesting and enjoyable. gunn collab is pretty happening too, fairly loose, but I think that's the idea.
