jim elkington has put two new solo recordings on his bandcamp presumably because bandcamp is doing the thing again tomorrow where they waive their fees and all proceeds go direct to the artist. the songs (one of which is a zombies cover!) are awesome. really good.

August issue of The Wire has a cover story about Cosmic Guitar, which I am assuming is a primer, featuring Marissa Anderson, Sarah Louise, Gwenifer Raymond, Robbie Basho, Davey Graham and C. Joynes. Also has a Lonnie Holley article I'd love to read. Too bad I currently have no idea where to find a copy of The Wire. Still upset about missing the Tangerine Dream issue too. Does anyone here still subscribe? I'm actually tempted but since I have no idea when I will ever work again it's not really in the cards

Saw that, really want it but don't know where to buy it either

I bought the Wire at Barnes & Noble the other day, it was the Feb issue with Wire on the cover, it has always been a couple months behind the UK, I imagine with the current state of the world it is even further behind.

I consider myself a novice w/r/t all things this thread is for, but one of my most played and loved albums of this year is Matt LaJoie's 'Everlasting Spring'. Anyone have any recommendations with a similar vibe? Is his previous work as good?
― Scampidocio (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 22 July 2020 10:25 (four years ago) link
He / his label has gotten so prolific I have trouble keeping up, but I do know that every Herbcraft release I've heard was great. (LaJoie is / was in Herbcraft.)
His previous official solo album The Center and the Fringe is wonderful, too: https://flowerroomrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-center-and-the-fringe
I don't know if this will be similar vibe-y enough, but it feels of the same universe to me. I've been obsessed with Ezra Feinberg's Recumbent Speech the past couple of weeks: https://ezrafeinberg.bandcamp.com/album/recumbent-speech
Rather than keep naming stuff, I'll get out of the way, because there are lots of people on this thread that will have perfect recommendations for you. :)
― alpine static, Wednesday, 22 July 2020 15:20 (four years ago) link
not familiar with LaJoie, just listened sounds greatChuck Johnson has gradually transformed from a fingerstyle player to basically full on ambient soundscapes....I think Velvet Arc catches him in a midpoint on that journey that you would like. Would also say Crows in the Basilica is just an amazing album as is Blood Moon Boulder, when he was more straight acousticanother guy I think falls through the cracks a bit is Alexander Turnquist, his album Flying Fantasy is beautiful and meditative, it's not like Lajoie exactly but might give you similar feelingsthere's more will think and post later

wonder if croz and fahey ever crossed paths, and if they did, how much they hated each other instantly.

Not listened to much Fahey-adjacent stuff in a while but glad I was here for the Matt LaJoie recommendation - lovely record and right in my 'ringing guitarscapes' sweet spot.
In terms of similar sounds, I'd say Dean McPhee would be as good a place as any to start - try Son of the Black Peace (particularly Cloud Forest). I think Scott Tuma would work, too - Not for Nobody is just glorious.
― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Friday, 24 July 2020 21:56 (four years ago) link
I love Scott Tuma. Also, shout out to those early Boxhead Ensemble records, which sat in a really nice guitar zone for a while there.

Just also noting how wild it is that this thread is SIX YEARS OLD and was started because the original thread got too long and folks decided we should start a new one (which is now really long ....)
I have spent a lot of time with many of you, thanks for being good and enthusiastic listeners and sharers of music. As corny as it sounds, this (and the original thread) have meant a lot to me over the years. Some very good folks in here.
― grandavis, Saturday, 25 July 2020 04:40 (four years ago) link
Indeed, good thread, good music. Thanks all.
I have almost posted a few times over the past several months that maybe it's time for post-Fahey thread part III ... this one is getting long (no idea how it compares to part I)

anyone mentioned mark mcguire in the 'ringing guitarscapes' category? he's got a pretty varied approach, but some of it definitely fits.
not really in that category, but good for this thread — i've been loving this one ... https://feedingtuberecords.com/releases/duets/ — basically long jams in the sandy bull / billy higgins vein.

I loved Herb Moore's track 'Wen Also Found' on the Imaginational Anthem record. Will have to track Hinterlands down.

Ideas of Beginnings by Mark McGuire
Old news but I finally got around to listening to this whole album from 2017. I really like it: good mix of fingerpicked acoustic material and what sounds like delayed ringing electric stuff.
