Appreciating this 2021 release by @cwkjoynes.bsky.social. Pretty singular sound and approach for the world of fingerstyle guitar, with this grimy/springy/tremmy tone and a perpetual, slightly ominous thumb pick bounce.

After years away from it, got a good listen (following a chat about it with @shaneparish.bsky.social). Features Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, and Tim Sparks. Should be a part of any fingerstyle/solo guitar syllabus.

Saturday morning coffee + spin of “Hidden Cities” by Horse Lords. Picked this up when they and Priests opened for Parquet Courts at the Ottobar in Baltimore in January of 2015.

Late '71, what a neat sub-era within such a fertile period for Miles, finding some fresh spaces as he transitions towards the funk of '72. Three percussionists, Keith Jarrett on electric piano and organ, how great it'd be to be in that room.

NP, what a delight. Great batch of whimsical and memorable tunes, featuring Hartford, Norman Blake, Tut Taylor, Vassar Clemens, and Randy Scruggs.

"folk in ethos rather than form, from ambient country without succumbing to drift, from post-rock without bombast... compositions carry the weight of years of performance and the quiet discipline of daily practice. They acknowledge heaviness (familial, political, ecological) yet refuse paralysis."

One of my favorite Takoma releases, a 1977 album of pedal steel and dobro ditties/explorations by Cal Hand, with Leo Kottke as the backing guitarist. It seems to be Cal’s sole solo album.

Over just the last couple of weeks, have been feeling "Come On Baby, Let's Go Downtown" more than ever, after listening to Early Daze and a '70 boot, and hearing it in that light. Have enjoyed it for years, but recently been like, damn, that's a good one.

First listen of this one that I found for $3 at a small record fair in Durham a few months back. Good early Grisman recordings, mostly from ‘66, featuring Del McCoury, Frank Wakefield, and others.

One of the most enjoyable parts of running the label is building lasting relationships. I met John years ago when he played in Nashville. We got to talking about music and animal welfare. Shortly after we were working on his self titled album. Proceed is the second project we have collaborated on.
