Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing his deeply spiritual exploration of the acoustic guitar, the eccentric maestro merged intricate American fingerpicking techniques with the meditative structure of Indian ragas. The album is thematically unified by Basho's romantic, almost mythological reverence for horses and nature, accompanied by his uniquely dramatic, warbling vocal style. It is a technically breathtaking, highly atmospheric highlight of the American Primitivism canon.
