palmer/sowell/helgeson trio improv set up now:

https://soundcloud.com/stpalm/sets/palmersowellhelgeson-trio-live-clown-lounge-7615

hopefully more to come

(last track is probably my favorite)

man, why do places have weeknight shows that begin at 10 PM? i'm gonna be so tired by the time chuck johnson starts up.

I would literally go se anything with Jim White playing drums

anyone know Jennifer Gentle?

On the first track of that collab set Global/UMS, sounding great so far! How did you guys record it, a Zoom recorder or something similar?

Track up for streaming for the Jim Elkington & Nathan Salsburg record:

Haven't listened yet, but obviously relevant to a lot of folks here.

Listening now. It's beautiful!

getting super excited to see the Steve Gunn full band experience on Thursday

it's so good. see you there!

matthew degennaro was cool at old familiar chime too, definitely gonna catch him

I don't know if this is the good thread but anyone has heard of The Weather Station? Toronto based fokl artist that I find quite lovely.

on second spin of chuck johnson's new one, it's wonderful. has a lot of the stock rose/fahey moves in it but he manages to inhabit them with some new spirit, i think. it's also recorded very beautifully.

Hey UMS/Global, really enjoyed that set. The opening track was my favorite, but it all sounded really good. Must have been a hell of a show all around. Hope you guys play again though, it's a good sound, seems like it could have serious legs.

thanks! I think we all had fun doing in and are planning to do more....we only got together 3 or 4 times before the show so I think we can achieve a more psychic garcia/weir/lesh mental jam connection with more practice

yeah dudes, palmer/sowell/helgeson is sounding groovy! you have my permission to quit yr day jobs and focus on this full time.

"we've added the only thing that can make American Primitive guitar even *more* lucrative.....free improv!"

*mr. burns fingers*

Who is gonna wear the short shorts and tank tops Global, you? An integral part of the Weir sound.

Also, in re "we've added the only thing that can make American Primitive guitar even *more* lucrative.....free improv!", I can tell you all you want to know about this hah hah.

make it rain!

just came across this relevant ad

lmao

dude's solo banjo LP by the light of the loews minibar is next level shit

Hah hah. Bonus points for it being a 6 string with pickups and volume knobs.

checked out this latest dying for bad music thang from Andy Mcleod this morning -- an eclectic mix of sounds... straight takoma, bowles-ian banjo workouts, spacier electric stuff, carter family trad jams. i like! https://dyingforbadmusic.bandcamp.com/album/forge-the-valley

Hey, how was that Steve Gunn Band show? Any new songs? And was Elkington definitely in the fold, or was it Sukeena? Don't think I will get to see them on this tour anyway, but just curious.

Great show! MdG was great, highlight was actually this really stern, mammoth 10 min instrumental on pump organ

Gunn band w Elkington was really in the zone, maybe a less classic rock guitar hero version of Solar Motel, but yeah epic jams... Jennifer Castle was good, very beautiful voice, a wee bit twee at times but will end up buying the record,

Nice, didn't get to see the Sukeena version but the show I saw with Elkington was great. That Matthew De Gennaro set sounds right up my alley, I love the sound of a pump organ.

Hi, I haven't been here for a while, but wanted to leave something for you:
Andy McLeod: http://dyingforbadmusic.bandcamp.com/yum?code=2nte-gv4m
Lebo Jenkins: http://dyingforbadmusic.bandcamp.com/yum?code=ykqh-ybvg
Should work for a few downloads.

Also: Check out Alex Archibald: http://dyingforbadmusic.com/blog/post/2015/07/alex-archibald-accidental-waltzes-2015.html
It's a nice short EP, just the right size.

Thanks for throwing these up Nikolaus, Tyler already repped for that McLeod, psyched to check the rest of these out.

took a rare trip to the record store over the weekend, picked up a few things relevant to this thread, including

which is very good!

also grabbed the Cromarty Wind in the Heather LP, which I'd only had on mp3. that album is gorgeous.

yeah wind in the heather is great, and a lot easier to track down than grassroots guitar

funny story: i spoke w/metzger once about his influences and he says he never even heard of fahey before people started comparing him to fahey, but he LOVES duck baker

ha, that is great. he's new to me (unless he showed up on some comp I'm forgetting about).

think he has ties to stefan grossman. he's also on this very excellent collection:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81SWickNBYL._SL1210_.jpg

ooh that looks good - yeah the Duck Baker album is on Kicking Mule, which I think was Grossman's label?
also got this one!

Speaking of Duck Baker, local jazz station used to play some of his takes on Monk--think there was a whole album---just now spotted this (if it's gone, it's a YouTube clip in which he demonstrates how to play Monk on guitar: a nine-minute workshop, but not too clinical)

grossman is kinda nerdy guitar stuff but i like him ok

i've just heard a couple things by him, but this one sounded very nice.

xpost: well, his first release was an instructional lp... most entertaining grossman i've heard is a library lp he and a bunch of people did demonstrating different old-timey styles.

another good kicking mule lp to look out for: http://ghostcapital.org/peter-finger-bottleneck-guitar-solos-kicking-mule-km-116-1973/

yeah! i like that album. kicking mule stuff i've heard is pleasingly low-key.

xylouris white was so good last night, everyone should go see them. seriously amazing.

Nice, and I wish! Glad you got to at least.

Jim White is one of the greatest living drummers imo
ready to agree with this, just a stunning musician, pure inventiveness, natural feel, great hair.

Hah hah "great hair" otm. Not to be underrated if you can pull it off (which I unfortunately cannot).

And yeah, pretty much any record with Jim White is a good record.

You going to Red Rocks tonight?

i am! should be fun. two wild nights in a row, though, i feel tired already.

Hah hah. I am sure you will have fun man, seems like a pretty ideal way to see the Gunn Band, and a damn fine way to spend an evening. Maybe Nels Cline will make it wild for the Wilco set too.

tyler have you heard "you follow me" by nina nastasia & jim white?

You guys are gonna have to school me on Duck Baker. I've never heard his name outside of those Stefan Grossman guitar videos, and a quick Googling shows lots of traditional Irish stuff (usually not my bag, unless I'm in Ireland). Where to start? The song I just heard - "Child Of My Heart" - is wonderful.

And now I'm listening to some stuff with Zorn and Derek Bailey and not feeling it so far (but I'm generally unmoved by both Bailey and Zorn)

i have heard that nastasia album but i should revisit...
i'm new to baker, but the one i got is super solid! start there!

My lady friend was in Peru for three weeks and I was missing her, so I got a bit tipsy one night and made this podcast. Thought it would be relevant to this topic:
