Various Artists – Wayfaring Strangers: Guitar Soli

Bridging the gap between American Primitive pioneers John Fahey, Robbie Basho, and Leo Kottke, and the California Modernists William Ackerman, Alex de Grass, and Michael Hedges, Guitar Soli explores the private side of the solo guitar movement from 1966-1981. While Takoma and Will were laying the groundwork for the New Age marketing juggernaut of the mid-80s, these fourteen loners were picking away in tiny cafes and selling records hand to hand. The 2LP set comes housed in a lavish chipboard jacket with a 40 page booklet – and contains two bonus tracks, including a Scott Witt track recently sampled by DJ Shadow on his latest release, The Outlander.
