The 'Wayfaring Strangers: Guitar Soli' comp on The Numero Group is a load of folks with guitars doing what they know best. Yup... playing guitar. All acoustic archival gear from yesteryear featuring no one I've ever heard of. Aren't they always the best comps as you find tasty new things you never knew existed? The pieces are bluesy and folksy with some hints of more pysched out gear appearing here and there. Well tasty. Fans of Fahey, Jack Rose etc will dig this.ANOTHER FANTASTIC ARCHIVAL RELEASE FROM THE NUMERO GROUP: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN AMERICAN PRIMITIVE PIONEERS JOHN FAHEY, ROBBIE BASHO, AND LEO KOTTKE, AND THE CALIFORNIAN MODERNISTS WILLIAM ACKERMAN, ALEX DE GRASSI, AND MICHAEL HEDGES. GUITAR SOLI EXPLORES THE PRIVATE SIDE OF THE SOLO GUITAR MOVEMENT FROM 1966-1981. WHILE TAKOMA AND WINDHAM HILL WERE LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE NEW AGE MARKETING JUGGERNAUT OF THE MID-80S, THESE 14 LONERS WERE PICKIGN AWAY IN TINY CAFES, SELLING RECORDS HAND TO HAND.
