Well it's about cocking time eh? A brand new James Blackshaw album lands on my lap and I'm so excited I can barely contain myself. It doesn't take me much to get excited! The minute this came on Maggie and me immediately felt an air of calm fall upon the office. Ant and Mingus had left to do more important things and we just totally fell for the young whippersnappers 12 string pluckery. The title track of the album (The Cloud Of Unknowing) is absolute killer Blackshaw. I try not to use the word 'killer' in reviews cos it's a little over used these days.... maybe I'll use slayer. Yes the first track is absolute slayer.... there's a completely unexpected chord change which just knocks your socks off. The whole album follows suit and is complete slayer from start to end. This is classic Blackshaw and those who are into the acoustic guitar pluckery of fellow travellers Fahey and Steffen Basho Junghans will be mortally excited by this complete beast of a record. Be still thine heart it is time to be tamed by thee lord of Blackshaw..... (that's a bit of a poncey way to end this but you get the gist that I like it, OK?)
