Synopsis

Album Description
"A collection of drifting, stream of consciousness tracks demonstrating the great hallucinatory possibilities of this tradition-soaked and very American form." -- The Wire Fall 2008 marks the fifth anniversary of Locust Music's inaugural Wooden Guitar compilation, an inspired excursion into the creases and folds of modern deltadelica and a thinly veiled homage to the great Takoma compilations of yore in which guitarists could sit back, work those muscles in their fingers, and go the extra musical distance. Four of the great worldwide guitarists--Germany's Steffen Basho-Junghans, Seattle's Sir Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), Japan's Tetuzi Akiyama, and Virginia's Jack Rose--give us a fresh look at a very old instrument with gloriously stretched-out solo compositions.

"ladeeeez n b-boys, can the jamz be ANY hotter n DIS??? Fully delivering on the new school Delta Blues tip, Mississipi has not sounded so booty-bumpin' transcendent since our boy John Fahey fell in battle (god bless his block-rockin' soul). 5 true-gangstaz gets down to biznis before your finger leaves the play button, and drops the Phatest solo guitar action on your head: Indian devotional, Gypsy dances, Minimalist Country, and Middle Eastern Blues all mixed with a familiar American Folk tradition and put together with jaw dropping, effortless virtuosity. Ain't nothin but a G thang, y'all."
