been heavy into this lately & absolutely loving it, esp his ragtime/old timey stuff has gone from being my least to most favourite. some combination of playing/thumbpick/micing on kensington blues makes the bass on tracks like flirtin with the undertaker bludgeon the song to death a bit, but dr ragtime & his pals sounds awesome and is pure joy
really enjoyed the remembrances, the points about his craftsmanship & attention to sonic details are very otm, and the bachman stuff in particular is v sweet and chimes with my starry-eyed memories of meeting jack
also just want to bask in this magnificent sentence again:
His ragtime songs were so powerful and executed with such precision and might that even “hipsters” got it.
the stuff about him 'owning' everything he did rang true, and makes me think more about how confidently and fruitfully he followed fahey, thriving in his shadow, following him upriver deep into the mountains in such of the source. watching some of his performances on youtube it's incredible how much he looks & dresses like fahey, as if his quest had started transformed him physically, presumably starting at that mighty right hand. and yeah, it's great to hear sundogs again, was a truly awesome piece to hear

Seeing this thread has made me dig out Two Originals Of... God but Mountaintop Lamento is beautiful. Think I might put Effigy on next and go run around in the woods in a bear suit.

Nine years.
Great story:
“Yeah I got Terry Reilly records, man - at home, where ya listen to that kind of stuff. I’m trying get people to buy beers here!” - Jack Rose to Jeff Zeigler when the latter made a request while the former was DJ’ing at JBs. Relayed to me yesterday while mixing with JZ.

not in a mainstream sense but there's a whole zone of guitar playing now that doesn't exist without Rose, a giant
