I grabbed this album from my friend's blog. He gave me permission and was totally stoked when I told him I wanted to post it. Here's what Southern Records had to say about it:
"Recorded in London in July of 2005 at Southern Studios. Nine tracks of solo acoustic guitar, mostly improvised. An exploration into the shadow worlds of the Sub-Continent, North Africa, and other points on the Gypsy Trail... Sir Richard Bishop is perhaps better known for the part he plays as one third of radical feral punk-noise collective Sun City Girls. Out of this band's intense unruly free jams grew Bishop's love for solo improvisation, which along with his appreciation for global folk musics largely shapes his solo work." -Southern Records
Here's what John (Visit His Website Here) had to say about it:
"I can hardly believe that these songs were improvised. Sir Richard Bishop possesses unholy technique and dexterity that allowed him to develop his absorbingly complex style and nuance. There are no pedals or recording tricks on the album; the production is crisp and clean.
Sun City Girls may be difficult for many listeners to get into, but I guarantee that this album is impossible to criticize and difficult to dislike. Even if you know nothing about the guitar, it's pretty obvious that Sir Richard Bishop is one of the most talented and creative living guitarists." - John D
I can't add much to those two.
