My brain was heavily serotonin deficient from desert parties and what not but I finally mustered the energy to share some tracks. First off is an Italo boogie track from 1983 by High Resolution! As usual the vocals leave more to be desired but the bass line is fresh! This was composed by Paolo del Prete and Marco Fatali and was released on SPQR. High Resolution-Sweepin' Off Next up are my two favorite tracks from Glenn Jones' 1984 LP called "Finesse" which came out on RCA Records. Both tracks have pretty dreamy [...]

Tweet Maestro Glenn Jones has played in NPR offices' Tiny Desk Concert series. The result is of course amazing as one can think.
Photo taken by Tim Bugbee I feel like I've arrived at the party late. While I was familiar with the work of John Fahey and his proteges like Leo Kottke , until recently I didn't really look into the phenomenon that is generally known as " American Primitive ." Musicians I follow closely like Joey Burns of Calexico, and MC Taylor from The Court & Spark and Hiss Golden Messenger, and the guys from [...]
![[Review/Listen] – Glenn Jones – "The Wanting"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3788328_lg.jpg)
Tweet There's guitar music, and then there's guitar music. Glenn Jones's new album, "The Wanting" , falls into the latter category. The album is Jones's fourth solo, though he collaborates with Chris Corsano for the album's epic seventeen minute sign off, "The Orca Grande Cement Factory at Victorville" . Glenn Jones alternates between a six string guitar, a twelve string guitar, and a banjo. Jones's songs slide through both alternate tunings and string instruments without losing his distinct musical voice. [...]
Qua verpakking bestond er in september geen betere dan release Bridges , maar er was deze maand nog veel meer te beleven. Om even bij platen te blijven die vanwege het artwork opvallen, pik ik er Life Sux van Wavves uit. Het lo-fi zwart-wit hoesje, versierd met een omgekeerd kruis en een pentagram beloofd misschien meer dan het waarmaakt. Enfant terrible Nathan Williams is namelijk - wat later dan gebruikelijk - op weg naar volwassenheid en dat heeft z'n weerslag op de gruizige punk waar hij op bekend staat. Het klinkt vandaag de dag nogal [...]
Neo-Takoma School guitarist Glenn Jones trips himself up. By Elliott Sharp Boston-based guitarist Glenn Jones began a musical odyssey in the early '70s when a high school teacher turned him on to John Fahey. Soon after, he saw the guitarist perform at a concert in Harvard Square, and when Fahey asked the audience which composer had [...]
The guitar work on this excellent album creates its own fascinating landscape, and then invites you in. It may be intricate, it may be experimental, but it is never unapproachable. Glenn Jones considers himself a student of the "Takoma school", the group of acoustic guitar players that learned from the genius of John Fahey. This movement is sometimes referred to as American Primitive, but Takoma school is more fitting for a skilled player like Jones. Schools are places where we learn knowledge and skills, but then we have to go out and apply those skills. They don't exist in [...]
The Wanting is an intriguing title for Glenn Jones' fourth solo record, and first for the Thrill Jockey label. You expect to feel a deep yearning of sense of loss pouring from each song; instead, each track is completely satisfying and exudes feelings of contentment. Jones comes from the John Fahey and Robbie Basho school of finger-style guitar players. He picks his way across the guitar (6 and 12 string varieties) on this record, but he also adds a bit of banjo to the mix on tracks like "The Great Swamp Way Rout" and "Menotomy River Blues". [...]

With the opening harmonics of the opening track sparkling to a mere whimper in my speakers, I had a good feeling about what was to follow through the course of what may be the debut (or maybe 50th - it's difficult to tell - I don't have a press release to refer to and I've the lost all will to move to the Internet place and look on the web thingy.) See the initial lashings of a delicately woven spell of acoustic guitar had laid a lace like foundation to the album, but some 50 minutes later (with the opening [...]
Glenn Jones has a new album out, titled The Wanting. Not many albums can send such an excitement through my body, like a new album by Glenn. Glenn Jones is often treated as the torch barrier of the music of John Fahey and Robbie Basho. This is somewhat true because Glenn is obviously influenced by [...]

Antes do regresso anunciado de Gleen Jones, que deverá ter novo álbum ainda este Verão, a Thrill Jockey editou recentemente o disco colaborativo entre o guitarrista dos Cul de Sac e os The Black Twig Pickers. Trata-se de uma de três edições limitadas inseridas na celebração do Record Store Day 2011 a par de outras colaborações de artistas da casa como Oval + Liturgy ou ainda Phil Manley (dos Trans Am) + Isaiah Mitchell (dos Earthless). On the Massachusetts-Virginia Border é mais uma peça de beleza intrigante do já extenso trabalho de Jones e numa altura em que, [...]
