i had both the fall and Fahey lined up in separate tabs, so for the first minute of "hip priest" i thought it was fahey, and entered an terrifying alternate universe for as a result. Thanks ILM! nice to be back.

Joseph Allred, who we've talked about upthread, posted this video today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ZrHAK5iDQ&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3LbSH_RjtB9CU26V5S2UwsXNdMCk0-XQWRpcbHcfi5z4MZF5_QSI7T0Sg
fun(?) fact(s): he played at my wedding, which was in Cades Cove and which inspired this suite!

many of you will already be aware but a certain steve palmer's album useful histories has been released on some v hot looking vinyl and it's a heady fusion of psych jams & takomaish picking with some wild delay pedal action and it's a work of major genius so if the big man won't post about it here then it's my solemn duty to ensure it gets a mention!

Allred is such a sweet guy
― Evan, Saturday, 8 February 2020 13:40 (four years ago) link
Our man Global really knocked it out of the park on this record, Ogmor is completely on the money here. Everything I have heard from it is beautiful and deeply rendered, just really well synthesized moves and approaches to "shit that sounds great for a guitar to get up to." Proud of our dude for getting this out there.

Hoping to hear some Cassini moves down the line. Quite a crew in that band! But yeah just ordered my copy of "Useful Histories" today.

Just listened to a couple of Marisa Anderson records this weekend. I have no doubts this will be great, definitely looking forward to it (and would LOVE to see this live, hopefully we all get a chance at some point)

If anyone needs some listening today, the two tracks available for streaming here are really nice:
https://waterlesshills.bandcamp.com/album/the-great-mountain-lp
C Joynes on guitar and DBH on violin with a rhythm section. C Joynes is a great and tasteful player, but really delivers this for me is DBH's fiddle, really expressive and beautiful playing. I imagine that the whole record delivers (unfortunately sold out despite not even being officially "released" yet).
― grandavis, Friday, 28 February 2020 15:38 (four years ago) link
oh wow cool combo, C Joynes is one of those players that probably doesn't get enough attention on the scene
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 15:25 (four years ago) link
yeah i'm digging waterless hills! finally really got into that Matthew J Rolin record from late last year and it's very strong, too.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 3 March 2020 16:09 (four years ago) link
has there been a proper DBH record lately?
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 16:15 (four years ago) link
i think the last one was Mass (2017-ish) ... but I could be wrong there.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 3 March 2020 16:27 (four years ago) link
also — do we think "The Quickening" is a reference to Highlander or Art Bell? OR BOTH.

Yes, i have always loved his stuff. He was doing this thing last year where he was re-upping old OOP releases of his to bandcamp for pay what you want. I followed along all year.
Similarly I have been thinking about Evan Miller recently—does anyone remember him? Before he did that more 'out' record in 2009 called Transfigurations On Lap-Steel Guitar, he had a couple tape only ones on Night People throughout 2007 and 2008, and it was all really good. I don't think he was ever included on those early Imaginational Anthem releases either, though the timing seems perfect for that to have happened.
He's also got this reworking of Furry Lewis' Turn Your Money Green on Beeswax Ephemera (2007) that feels pretty ahead of it's time looking back on it, with some blown out electric guitar soloing towards the end that fades out into some collage stuff. Some of his material is on youtube, but here's a blog post with mp3's for my fav Night People one, Three Spells For Six String Guitar:

Aw man, I guess those streamable mp3s for Three Spells For Six String Guitar are dead now. Anyway, I just spent this morning listening to all the stuff of his I've collected over the years so I'll just share my own link below—please enjoy, all of this has been out of print for a long time. I wonder what he has been up to recently.

It's funny I wasn't expecting busy drumming either for some reason but it is cool!
― grandavis, Thursday, 12 March 2020 21:27 (four years ago) link
i kinda was -- his playing with Xylouris is super busy! I like/feel his restlessness.

the Jim White/Nina Nastasia record is absolutely classic, he's pretty busy on that but it works

Is really cool to see Global/Steve's record get a lot of reviews and spins on radio shows. Well deserved, just a great record all around.
Rhizome in DC is doing a live-stream "show" consisting of sets from Rob Noyes and Eli Winter coming up soon. Not a bad way to spend a quarantine evening. Watching Rob do what he does is a treat, he is a very active player.
