Now a CD of guitar noodling on Bo' Weavil called The Folk Guitar Blues of Wooden Spoon by... wait for it... WOODEN SPOON!. Recorded onto tape we're treated to pure acoustic guitar without a hint of vocals, percussion and other worldly sounds. He's layered quite a few finger picked guitars up and has experimented with a bit of delay and even some reversed stuff. Always guitar. Pretty nice and trancey to drift you through the day arrrrrrrrr....!!! ok track 8 and a pianos come in and ruined my pure guitar review... Just a nice nice bit of listening...

Wooden Spoon’s debut album for Bo’ Weavil Recordings is a journey into the wilderness of acoustic guitar playing. Heard last year on the Free London double LP, Wooden Spoon takes some of his primary cues from the now widely known Takoma guitar tradition, as practised by Robbie Basho & John Fahey but has found his own unique voice, taking in British folk,country blues and minimalism along the way. These lyrical and elegiac tunes, recorded at home, breath warmth and honesty that can be lacking in these times of mass communication, hype & mediocrity. Playing acoustic guitar with occasional banjo, piano and tape loops, Wooden Spoon creates music of joy and sadness all at once. Limited to 600 CD hard card mini LP gatefold sleeve.
