I'm really enjoying this new(ish) one. It's grown on me. His vocal has for the most part lost the si-hi-hi-nging style of the last record. Maybe I should give that one another go.

Clad With Bunk ends with a guitar riff like Drag Racer by the Doug Wood Band. Known to older UK listners ad the theme to the snooker.

Any ilxors who have ordered the new Post Wook from his bandcamp received theirs yet? According to the bandcamp email I should have had it a few weeks ago, but nothing yet. It still says "ships out within 5 days" and no notices about any delays, so it doesn't seem to indicate any delays.

I haven't ordered it yet but my previous experience was ordering the Ryley/Kikagaku Moyo album and it shipped out almost immediately so it might be worth emailing just to make sure it didn't fall through the cracks

yeah, i'd just email — ryley is pretty responsive, I've found. cool record! he might even have done it a bit of a disservice with the jokey title, haha.

Yeah, I'll do that. I dunno, I kind of love when he gets all goofy. Kicking myself for missing that Steve Gunn drone tape.

it's kind of cool to read the thread title: Ryley Walker (Jansch-style vocals, finger-picking folk guitar with double bass and violins grooves)
and realize how much he's changed and evolved, that doesn't even come close to describing him now

i guess if you were going to find a good comparison, it'd be john martyn — which means Ryley is about to make his One World?

I wouldn't hate that.

had the pleasure of seeing Ryley live with his band, absolute beast of a bass player Andrew Scott Young and two(!) drummers
he seems so effortless in his playing

Post Wook is really great. Have been dipping into his back catalog stuff I haven't heard and it's so diverse. He has a really creative and ambitious musical mind, that takes him in pretty different directions from a lot of his brethren in the post-Faheyverse. Going back to his older stylez search also SpiderBeetleBee w Bill MacKay

Dude seems really happy since getting sober, seems to enjoy working at that burger joint.

He's great fun live - you can tell he's enjoying himself

playing bass last night with the Moles. been a while, good to see him. and yes, he was having a good time up there.
Moles warming up for a GBV opening spot they have coming up, Ryley also has a show with Tara Jane O'Neil in April, as the TJO Duo.
