ILX Gonna Shine in My Backdoor Someday (new post-Fahey folk for ppl posting in Takoma/Tompkins Square threads Pt II)

only vaguely familiar with this (very prolific) guy, but I was really enjoying this one today: https://earlymusic.bandcamp.com/album/water-and-rock-music-volume-2
super spare guitar work + field recordings ... well worn formula, maybe, but done really well, deeply felt.

Fahey: worst dressed/groomed great artist ever?

Anthony Pasquarosa's Morning Meditations is really nice for the whole guitar-recorded-outside-with-nature-bleeding-in thing, too.

i think i'm doing a collaborative set with early music fella soonish

Nice Fahey clip

Pretty sure I have posted some Jon Collin before (or certainly mentioned him)? Not that it matters if I have, I just love Jon's playing and figure I must have mentioned him at some point. Really cool to see live, and a cool player in that his electric and acoustic playing both work really well for me.

Global, I am doing a collaborative set with him as well in Baltimore. He is trying to do a whole string of duo sets in which he plays with a different collaborator in each stop of the tour. Very cool you are doing so too! We can compare notes.

i like that idea -- i wanted to do that! only i am drummer -- it seems totally conceivable that i could find people to play with between (here) and (there) regardless of where here and there are

xp yeah i'm sure you've mentioned him before -- just one of those guys I've known of vaguely without really diving in.
and yeah, i like the idea of different collabs in different cities ...

people have to be comfortable with the idea of winging it but i find this idea very appealing.

i haven’t listened to him before, and i’m not planning on changing that at this point! going in perfectly blank slate

Hah hah, more power to you Global! I mean I wing it pretty much 100% of the time so I am in a lot of ways way more comfortable with that than playing "songs" at this point. Definitely one of my favorite things to do is improvise with someone for the first time, such an interesting space to enter musically.

La Lechera, it is a cool idea for sure. If you ever decide to go down that road you should let us folks here know.

i will! i am seriously thinking about it, looking at mid-late june or early july!!

just saw this on facebook:

Hey Twin Cities music folks, my old friend Jesse Sheppard's band is touring the upper Midwest and their gig in Minneapolis on Thursday, April 11, got canceled due to venue structural issues. They're a great psych/folk instrumental duo called Elkhorn and they're just looking for a slot in an appropriate venue that evening. Message me here if there's anything available that you know of and I can put you in touch with them. Thanks!

new elkhorn (two albums out next month) = totally killer

oh damn I think global was playing that

we're working on it, maybe eagle's club

Haven't floated one of these out in a while, but I am pretty into how this set came out. Plus, there is plenty of acoustic fingerstyle guitar played (though not by me hah hah). Duo improv set with the excellent Jordan Perry:

new chris forsyth streaming. i dunno but i have found the last few a bit workmanlike. i like the rawer stuff where it feels like he's trying to see what sticks. 'solar motel' is his top album IMO

Yeah, feel this too for the most part. Actually think Paranoid Cat might be my favorite ....

I liked Intensity Ghost too but it felt that was the realization of his thing in a polished way as good as it could be done

diminishing returns after that

Solar Motel def my fav

i dig 'em all, i think — new one has some very great moments (especially the latter half)

lol ok for all my shit talk so far I'm really digging the new one....Dreaming the Non Dream didn't quite connect w/me for whatever reason...

i didn't get to the last half, although i've found it hard to connect to stuff on the NPR first listen thing for whatever reason. i'll definitely give it another try

btw word on the streetz is that forsyth is coming to mpls soon w/a wild one-off all star band more to come

Yeah after listening my feelings are pretty similar to the last couple of records. The less the songs try to rock the more I like them. Like, "The Past Ain't Passed" I like a lot, but I don't get too much outta the vocal / rock tunes. Just something about the feel that leaves me a little cold, but I get why folks dig them and imagine they open up live quite a bit.

yeah the singing is...passable at best

Rosali is cool, and her recent record is great. But yeah I don't need to hear Chris sing.

honestly what would be cool if they just released live gigs like a dead type thing

also boy did i sleep on the sunwatchers record holy smokes!!!!

Sunwatchers rule, as does that record! Amazing energy in that band.

also, back to the thread's mission....the Kinloch Nelson record is up on streaming now, I need to get this...this is up there with discoveries like Gimmer, Bikoff or Cromarty for me....wow it's gorgeous and singular

yeah it's super vibey ...
still need to check out the latest sunwatchers. first two were great.

this album could really throw a person into a melancholic smoke sesh

kinloch nelson is so good, as is sunwatchers. sunwatchers are incredibly good live also btw

Kinloch Nelson LP is super sweet but just discovered that my two favorite songs on it were written by the other guy

this is just new to me, but just discovered Jorm Kaukonen's first solo album "Quah" and wow this is a lovely fingerstyle album (w/vox and some orchestration)

Jorma is such a great fucking guitarist...up there with anyone

Sweet Kinloch Nelson set in Cambridge last night. Low-key and engaging, with probably 20 people in attendance. And here's an interview with him on WFMU from last week—starts at about 02:01:38: https://wfmu.org/archiveplayer/?show=85172&archive=172163

thanks for the link....that's awesome you got to see him....

20 people :(

Glenn Jones was one of them :)

you couldn't ask for a better, nicer figurehead for american primitive :)

Thanks for the tip on the WFMU interview—listening now. Marcus from DFBM shared a link a few weeks back to an interview he did on the Fretboard Journal podcast, it was pretty good if you all haven't heard that one yet either.

I wld like to join ums and Byron Coley in rating the new Isasa album Insilio. it initially sounds squarely in the Fahey-Jones-Rose lineage, but there is more space in it, some lovely light accompaniments, it all sounds really gorgeous, & there's that rare lightness of touch to it - it slowly opens up

here's a nice older video of him playing outdoors that will sort you right out

https://isasa.bandcamp.com/

That video / song is really nice, thanks for posting it Ogmor. I am a total sucker for cicadas too, so definitely a bonus factor for me.

yeah he had such calm, kind way about him at 1000 rose fest, good spirit

also i was very happy to see Marcus put one of my songs on the Dying for Bad Music Spring Pick 2019 Soundcloud mix...tons of great stuff much better than mine on here (url says fall but its spring)

https://soundcloud.com/dyingforbadmusic/sets/fall-picks-2018

That video makes me very jealous of people with peaceful suburban backyards. As someone from one that now lives in a pretty beautiful semi-peaceful urban residential area without a designated backyard, that scenario is just that much more ideal and nostalgic for me.

Nice going, ums! Great tune!!

this thread is an embarrassment of riches; thank you all!

another discovery i'm really into is Dwight Diller, a clawhammer banjo player, he's got tons of stuff on youtube including some instructional DVD clips and a TON of albums on Bandcamp....really love his style....almost like a bridge between traditional playing and what Nathan Bowles does

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq5cIOl14ps

He's got a solid album on spotify; digging it!

Just put up a set of mine that is a duo improv with Jon Collin. Jon definitely touches more on this thread than I do (I am a big fan and love all of his playing, but some of it is more adjacent to here than the rest). For those who have been on this journey with me for a while you may get a kick out of it. Definitely goes "out" but I am really happy with it, cool to get to play with Jon. My set above with Jordan Perry is probably more most folks speed though. A lot of straight guitar playing on that one. But yeah, have at it if this kinda thing is interesting to you. Promise not to bomb the thread with more stuff for some time, just thought these particular sets were cool (as everyone should go check out Jordan and Jon's work if you aren't familiar):
