american primitive

This is a special 65 minutes of solo acoustic guitarists from around the world, with all of them barring one exception being new & active 21st-century players. Not the usual Dynamite Hemorrhage program, and that's why it's a "special edition". You'll hear guitar geniuses like NICK JONAH DAVIS, GWENIFER RAYMOND, JULIAN LEDRU, MATTHEW J. ROLIN and others, playing the deep American primitive jams we associate with Fahey, Basho, Rose and an entire fretboard lineage descended from pre-WWII blues.

Track listing:

GWENIFER RAYMOND - Hell For Certain
MATTHEW J ROLIN - One Day I Will Be Free
JAKUB SIMANSKY - Enfant Terrible Death Ride
JOHNNY YOUNG - Bayberry Family Blues
NICK JONAH DAVIS - The Peacock Dance
WILL CSORBA - Time Was Like Water (And I Was The Sea)
NATHAN SALSBERG - Impossible Air
JACK ROSE - Rappahanock River Rag (for William Moore)
JULIEN LEDRU - Acqua Alta
JIM O’ROURKE - There’s Hell in Hello, But More in Goodbye
LORNA ROWE - Logan Pass

Better late than never and we're back with an oversized episode for your Summer listening. This time we talk to four different artists: Andy McLeod, Joseph Allred, Eli Winter, and Jon Camp; about their new records and about their place in and perception of the so-called "American Primitive" school of guitar. We share some of their tunes and then, of course, we spin some good old Grateful Dead.

So much new music is covered in this episode, it's a little dizzying. In addition to the great guests, I mentioned the Phil & Friends shows from The Cap that you absolutely should check out. There's also the new Prana Crafter/Tarotplane split LP available here, the Dire Wolves record that you can find here and Jeffery Alexander's solo album that's available here.

Andy McLeod's releases can be found at his bandcamp: https://andymcleod.bandcamp.com

Joseph Allred's "Nightsongs can be found via bandcamp: https://gardenportal.bandcamp.com/album/nightsongs and his upcoming album "O Meadowlark" can be purchased via Feeding Tube Records.
