GLENN JONES Barbecue Bob in Fishtown marks the third solo
album of acoustic genius by Glenn
Jones (Cul de Sac),
one of the undisputed leaders of today's vanguard of soli
steel-stringers. Barbecue Bob in Fishtown finds
Jones expanding his instrumental arsenal to include 5-string
banjo. Its an absolutely stunning album. To be released on
CD/180 gm LP (w/MP3 coupon) and MP3. Check back soon for more
announcements.
If you haven't seen Magnet Magazine's long-deserved
notice to 21st Century Primitive Guitarists (Issue
#77, Fall 2007), check out the comprehensive
6-page expose on the new wave of steel-stringers.
Featured in-depth are Strange Attractors artists Glenn
Jones, Harris Newman
and Steffen Basho-Junghans,
alongside fellow brothers-in-arms Jack Rose, Sir
Richard Bishop and James Blackshaw. Written by
the venerable Bill Meyer*
BEN
REYNOLDS Tompkins Square just issued a new platter by UK wunderkind
Ben Reynolds
entitled How
Day Earnt its Night. His first full album of all
steel-string directed compositions is 2008's Two
Wings. A fabulous yet criminally underheard feather
in the collective post-modern solo acoustic steel string cap.
JACK ROSE / GLENN JONES
Also coming in 2009 will be a very special, intimate performance
DVD of Jack Rose and Glenn Jones, each artist
playing solo and together. The footage was shot expressly
for this project in a loft in Manhattan. The takes are live,
but the performance is not in front of an audience, but rather
in front of the camera. Includes interviews of each player
by Byron Coley. A one of a kind, remarkable document
of the two leading lights of solo acoustic steel string guitar
in their prime.
New material by Vocokesh, F/i, and perhaps some Cul
de Sac vinyl reissues are also in the pike.
