xposts: ah right, spinning the yellow princess in penance. wondering if fahey's presence on canned heat's living the blues album makes it worth investigating? have always been scared off by the 40 minute boogie on the second lp.
& re the talk up there about the red krayola/fahey album, think it's in the liners to the live 1967 release that mentions one of their managers absconded with the tapes, so i guess it's not out of the realms of possibility that they turn up again...
― no lime tangier, Friday, 5 December 2014 16:29 (nine years ago) link
man, Fahey really got around in the sixties, didn't he? fascinated by all of this.
― sleeve, Friday, 5 December 2014 16:42 (nine years ago) link
lowenthal book suggests fahey actually got a lot from wilson because wilson was the more technically skilled player...and he shows up posthumously apparently on old girlfriends.
― tylerw, Friday, 5 December 2014 16:51 (nine years ago) link
canned heat is pretty dope imo
― you say tomato/i say imago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 5 December 2014 17:25 (nine years ago) link
don't be scared of 40-minute boogies!
― tylerw, Friday, 5 December 2014 17:27 (nine years ago) link
al wilson knew some music theory, studied blues vocal lines which is why his sound so good (imo), might have helped fahey with his patton book
― ogmor, Friday, 5 December 2014 17:32 (nine years ago) link
40-minute boogies rule, as does "Cathedrals et Chartres". About as mesmerizing as acoustic guitar playing can get.

Also new James Blackshaw tune has been posted, with vocals etc. Seems like he has been listening to Jim O'Rourke?:

Haha wow. Yup.
― Evan, Friday, 5 December 2014 18:16 (nine years ago) link
thanks, will ignore

Aw, well it's nice enough.
― Evan, Friday, 5 December 2014 18:20 (nine years ago) link
sounds very nice, but yeah, if someone told me it was a eureka outtake i would believe it!
― tylerw, Friday, 5 December 2014 18:21 (nine years ago) link
Hey though grandavis- it then rolls into a track called "Holly" that you might like a little more?
It gets busy with a piano part in the latter half but it isn't that 12-string kind of busy overall (nylon string)
Maybe?
― Evan, Friday, 5 December 2014 18:26 (nine years ago) link
By the way, wow that Holly EP is gorgeous (both tracks). I NEED to pick that one up somewhere.
― Evan, Friday, 5 December 2014 18:38 (nine years ago) link
Oh man, don't wanna come across as being on some kind of anti-Blackshaw campaign. I think that basically he is pretty hit-and-miss with me. I like some of what I have heard but the more composed stuff (if that makes sense) doesn't seem to hit me as hard. Obviously I need to listen to more of his stuff to really see which way the wind blows, will check out the Holly stuff and see what's up.
― grandavis, Friday, 5 December 2014 18:50 (nine years ago) link
I am very pro-12-string by the way. It is a sound of beauty and should not be held accountable for any stuff I don't like from any particular player. If only I was good enough to play one well (or could get my hands to cooperate) I would consider switching to one full-time.
― grandavis, Friday, 5 December 2014 18:52 (nine years ago) link
I didn't mean to make you out as anti-12 string! I just let the soundcloud get to that other material and thought I'd recommend. And then it came to a track on "Love Is The Plan, The Plan Is Death" and I'm VERY in love with that. Been on a classical guitar kick which helps.
― Evan, Friday, 5 December 2014 19:04 (nine years ago) link
listening to jack rosethis guys could really play i tell you what
― you say tomato/i say imago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 5 December 2014 21:52 (nine years ago) link
New Tashi Dorji e.p. up, think it is just a bandcamp-only thing. All really short improvs, very Gastr del Sol-ish in a way, so maybe not up everyone's alley, but I am on board at this point fully. If that thing scares folks off, definitely listen to the last track "blue nest of larks that die", as it is a lovely and pretty straight piece. Definitely shows what this dude could pump out if he felt like playing it a little straighter:

Oh man, this is maybe my favorite one yet. HUGE fan of this dude.
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Tuesday, 9 December 2014 03:49 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, it is realy good. Gonna listen a few more times today.

listening to the new nathan bowles again, this is really epic, man what a talent
― you say tomato/i say imago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 9 December 2014 20:01 (nine years ago) link
That Mike & Cara Gangloff record is really good, but I am a total sucker for Mike's playing so take that with a grain of salt. Really deep tones though, fiddle and hurdy gurdy/sruti box etc. taken to beautiful places.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 9 December 2014 20:28 (nine years ago) link
i didn't like the vocal stuff as much, but some good moments. also picked up pelt's 'stone for angus maclise' and that scratched my drone itch, woww it gets deep
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 9 December 2014 20:30 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I am a fan so this stull all scratches my itch, but can see where the vocals wouldn't work for everyone. Pelt is big touchstone for me for sure, and that one does indeed go deep.

Aycock is an underrated dude and fans of Langhorne, Tuma, et al should definitely be checkin' him
Looking forward to hearing this.
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Wednesday, 10 December 2014 22:02 (nine years ago) link
I think Aycock is my kind of guitarist, need to check more of that guys stuff. I have liked all that I have heard so far.

Yeah this installment looks pretty solid across the board. May get this one, don't own any of these.

we really need a new thread, I tried to open the whole thing just now (looking for mentions of Richard Dawson) and it crashed my computer
maybe encourage Youtube links on the next one?
(not a complaint, I love all these links)

ya i saw some folks mentioning that this thread is getting too big somewhere else. might be time!

Agreed, like six months ago or so a new one was gonna be started, lets make it happen. Fresh new thread for 2015. This one was started exactly two years and three days ago, I'd say it's time!
― Neal Cassady, Saturday, 13 December 2014 19:37 (nine years ago) link
re: Richard Dawson, was gonna say that I hear a lot of Bill Orcutt's influence/style in his playing, anybody else? (sorry if this was noted previously)

I'm basically a tourist since I mostly just follow y'all's lead and I live in a region of the country where pretty much none of these musicians tour and I think my contributions are minimal but I think this is the single thread that has changed my music listening habits more than any other, it's endlessly valuable.

heyo - http://delta-slider.blogspot.com/2015/02/fahey-week-needs-your-help.htmlHello faithful Delta Slider readers. As you may know the annual Fahey week is approaching. Unfortunately I’m pretty much out of material and buried at work, in other words: I got nuthin’.
So…here’s the opportunity you’ve been looking for! If you’ve always wanted to post an essay about Fahey and his music, your guitar tab of his song, that rare bootleg that hasn’t been posted yet, etc. Then now is the time to contact me about it! If you send me ready to publish material I can post it and you get the byline.
I would love to continue the tradition but frankly I’ve been short on time and resources. Let’s see what happens!! Fahey Week traditionally starts February 22nd.
Use the contact form below or email me at the addy listed in the "About" page.
Thanks all,Scott

oh durr this is the old thread!
I'm basically blaming this thread for not alerting me to the gorgeous new Nathan Salsburg albums. Slowly letting volume 2 wash over me right now. It's sort of a homage to Leyland Kirby, using the ghosts of his vast collection of 78s as a bed for some very minimal guitar explorations. Flailing around for comparisons but in tone and emotional valence it has some similarities with Bruce Langhorne's Hired Hand.
Vinyl already sold out, natch.
