new hayden pedigo

sounds great — i keep expecting Hayden to take a total left-turn, but I'm kind of glad he's zeroing in on making the perfect guitar record.

Hayden's song is very much of a piece with the new North Americans record, which is very very nice. https://northamericanszone.bandcamp.com/album/long-cool-world

Hey all, I've fallen really behind here but looking forward to checking out all of your great music you've been discussing lately.

Anyway, Glenn Jones is itching to book some more gigs (per catching up with him this morning). So on his behalf, does anyone have any good leads? Not sure how far he's willing to travel without a corresponding string of shows lined up along the way, therefore maybe the closer to New England the better to keep it somewhat local for him. Let me know!

maybe ilxor Scott Seward who owns John Doe Jr in Greenfield MA? you could call him? I know they have had shows there before, or he might know someone.

Good tip! Thanks

Hi Evan. I have set a show up for Glenn in Charlottesville, Virginia, before, and he has played here at least a couple of times (I opened for him many years ago before booking him). Not sure he would be interested, but if he decides he wants to head that for down the coast I am happy to try to help. I think he was disappointed a bit for each show at the turnout hah hah, but I mean that may just be how things go (this is a small-ish town and there are only so many "heads" at any given point that come out).

Thanks grandavis! Yeah he definitely benefits from a strong co-billing no matter where he plays I think.

Weird I tried calling Scott's store and it keeps ringing a few times and disconnecting, but a different amount of rings each time which indicates to me there is someone manually rejecting the calls. Don't worry Scott, I'm not going to ask if you have any Taylor Swift RSD records left...

he's on FB too fwiw, not sure what's up w/the phone

many worlds collide, I am also friends with Michael Klausman because of music and poetry stuff, he is an excellent person.

Gave a reading in Richmond on Sunday, a young guy named Rowland Taylor opened up the reading with a nice tune that reminded me a bit of some of the more ponderous Joseph Allred moments of recent. Nice guy too!

Cool review of the upcoming Prairiewolf record over at Raven Sings The Blues, so stoked to hear the whole thing. Gettin' ready to click order so fast on Friday.

Will have to check Rowland out. If he is a Richmond guy he will likely swing over to Charlottesville sometime soon.

This will be amazing if you are in London. Great to see Blackshaw doing a show

And hey the Prairiewolf album is out properly. Had heard it once before already but can confirm it is perfect mellow Saturday morning listening.

indeed, great vibe record, ordered the vinyl, been enjoying on Bandcamp

Thanks guys!

congrats on selling out all the physical copies tyler, glad I jumped on it early!

i'm not sure if people here are aware of kevin mcfadin and his label sunrise ocean bender, but he sadly passed away unexpectedly earlier this month. the label was putting out some very fantastic psych stuff that leans towards this thread so thought i'd share. his partner in label kevin moist (deep water acres) said he's working with the family to get access to the bandcamp/etc. might be worth checking out to support his family, who i'm sure would appreciate knowing he reached people all over the world. i've been in correspondence with kevin moist and will share any details here

they also shared this- WRIR has some great community radio

If you would like to show your support for Kevin, please donate to Richmond Animal Care & Control (https://www.rva.gov/animal-care-control/donatefoundation) and/or WRIR (https://www.wrir.org/).

yeah, very sad! seemed like a great guy ...

Ah yeah, that news was tough. I only knew him through the record you put out, and his radio shows (which were very good, truly played things I have never heard of and seemed to boost a lot of up and coming folks not just heavy hitters). I have friends that were buddies of his in Richmond, he was clearly a well loved guy, just sad all around.

yeah very sad, sounds like a really great person who did a lot to surface cool music

Aw man… some good stuff on that label. I didn’t know Kevin Moist was involved. Ever since we first met on DroneOn 30 years ago, I always make note of what he’s doing, zine or label

Really like this Elijah McLaughlin Ensemble record— maybe a little too ECM-y for these parts but fits the bill for me https://aelijahmclaughlinensemble.bandcamp.com/album/iii

I really dug the Elijah McLaughlin record, tabes. Nice one.

Coming at things slowly as ever, the Jake Xerxes Fussell album from last year is just gorgeous. His catalogue is quietly magnificent.

he was the most charming live act

hayden pedigo album is beautiful, "elsewhere" is certainly one of my favorite songs of the year

was not familiar with wilburn burchette, but have been seeing some tributes on twitter because he passed away, this is so good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZk3wzhSggM

yeah he's great, all on Bandcamp for reasonable prices as well

That track sounds like Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac.

Hope everyone has been holding up well, still check in every now and then to see what has been going on. The new Gunn Truscinski Nace has officially released, though Three Lobed was shipping early as mine came through last month. Have been listening a lot to that one plus the new Pedigo. I think Pedigo's two Mexican Summer releases can really be held up as a nice pair. For older stuff, I must have missed this Gunn one-off project back in 2012 called Central Living, with Manuel Padding, for Blackest Rainbow. Loose and droney, it's been put on archive.org.

Cameron Knowler and I are doing the third run for his book right now. We originally put it out back in late 2021 but did an updated edition earlier this year. I think it's in its final form at this point, as we've kind of obsessed over every detail imaginable. Cameron has since connected (in-person) with Norman Blake after sending him a copy, which has been wild to watch. There'll be a new album sometime in the future, it's good stuff.

75 Dollar Bill has reissued their first three tapes via Bandcamp, for anyone interested in owning actual hard copies of those releases. Just grabbed the bundle with all 3. Edition of 400 for each.

nice to see you neal! thx for the heads up

By speeding through both threads last night I feel like I gained a decade’s worth of new understanding for my love of instrumental guitar. Thank you all for protecting this hidden cove of the internet. I wish I could remember how I web-surfed here last night.

ha, welcome to ILX!

hey toycrossbow - welcome!

yah, welcome aboard!

not sure if fits thread criteria but the Blue Lake album is very good

The recent Magic Tuber Stringband record on Feeding Tube is really great if anyone missed it back in Feb. Here's a recent performance at Constellation Chicago.

Man, this is good:

(he opened for Magic Tuber at the show in the video just above)

both of these are great

austin cash...c'mon buddy help me out here

Limited edition of 20 hi-fi lathe-cut records
Cut by Audio Geography Studios

Gwenifer Raymond did a last minute scheduled dc gig last night that I missed ( I was elsewhere watching a Sublime Frequencies doc from 2005 of Morocco street musicians, mostly oud players)

I know it's not strictly the right thread for it (even if it feels spiritually correct) but damn the Prariewolf album is killer. Also love how RYM insists on labelling it as 'jazz'.

missed this — thanks for checking prairiewolf out! getting going on the second album very soon. might even do some very light touring next year, haha.

has anyone mentioned the new Isasa record? I think everyone here would love it. https://repetidor-shop.bandcamp.com/album/canciones-de-amor

also lol at "jazz band from Colorado" ... could anything be better?

I saw him play at the 1000 Incarnations of the Rose festival, was really great

Hey all, dipping in to share this compilation that Daniel Bachman and WarHen Records put together to help raise funds for the legal defense of folks opposing the MVP Pipeline. A ton of people that pop up in this thread, or might, are on it (Magic Tuber Stringband, Sally Ann Morgan, Nathan Bowles, Edsel Axel/Rosali Middleman, Jordan Perry, Daniel himself), along with a lot of other people from the area. I think it is pretty great and of course for a good cause:

https://warhenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/stop-mvp-artists-from-wv-va-nc-against-the-mountain-valley-pipeline

Full disclosure: my band Grand Banks is on it too. I think we did a good job trying to find a way to make a 4 minute track, which is hard for a band that tends to go long hah hah.

Also, great job on that Prairiewolf album Tyler, it is great. Was happy to see that pop up in quite a few places when it came out and have enjoyed listening to it quite a bit. Also Isasa is wonderful, I am glad I have gotten to see him play a couple of times.

thanks, davis!

yeah, that comp is stellar ... a good chaser (with some artist crossover) is this one, too: https://spinstersounds.bandcamp.com/album/measure-pour-mixtape-music-for-cooking
