歌手Ben Reynolds的一张原声木吉他独奏专辑,在曲目All Gone Wrong Blues加入了口琴演奏......
如此惬意,安详,就象一杯下午茶
未加修饰朴素的演奏使这张赤裸裸的原声木吉他专辑更显音乐本色
专辑给我最深的印象就是:“干净”
Making his first appearance via Tompkins Square, British steel-strung guitarist Ben Reynolds curbs his more psychedelic tendencies as vented on a couple of great releases for Digitalis, Time Lag and Last Visible Dog, favouring a cleanly delivered solo instrumental album that's steeped in vintage bluegrass and Takoma-style rags. Only 'All Gone Wrong Blues' breaks the guitar-only format, calling upon a little harmonica to enhance the wailing Mississippi Delta vibes. Reynolds is a musician who's amply able to carry off such an unadorned, stripped-bare album, and his immaculately plucked passages on the improbably jaunty 'Death Sings' reveal an instrumentalist with a real feel for the musical heritage he's channelling. In the middle of the album the three-part, thirteen-minute title track takes a slightly different recording strategy, multitracking guitar and more fervently embracing the Eastern harmonic tropes of the raga. It's a fantastic contribution to the genre, and the album more broadly is an impressive w rk - even by Tompkins Square's reliably high standards.
