#2664: Guitar Hero

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
No, not the game. Rather, Glenn Jones plays live music in our studio on guitar, in a style reminiscent of the late American guitar master John Fahey. Jones, an intimate guitarist coming from the American primitive guitar school, (for “primitive,” think raw and pure, rather than in relation to the over-produced pop which dominates most radio) is a member of the avant-rock band Cul de Sac, and has just released his second solo CD, Against Which the Sea Continually Beats. Plus, music by John Fahey.
