Jones, Glenn - Barbecue Bob in Fishtown
SKU
SAAH056
In the last ten years or so, there has been a surprising re-appraisal and resurgence of the Americana-style guitar music as invented by great 60s players like Robbie Basho, John Fahey and others. There is a large number of players out there now performing interesting, unique slants on this great sound. One of the players that I consider most responsible for this resurgence is Glenn Jones. This album is an extremely fine work and I recommend it very highly to anyone interested in this sound.
“The best guitarist you never heard of” – Jim Sullivan, Boston Globe
"Glenn Jones' nigh-on-half-century spent steeping himself in acoustic guitar lore gleams as bright as dimes at the bottom of a fountain pool ona sunny day, only much richer. He not only knows the Takoma crew, he knows about what their inspirations knew, and he's an elder amongst the disciples. He's also an expressive player, a splendid composer, just the sort of artist to keep this music alive after fashion and fancy pass it by - and he'll do it by making records such as this, ones that touch the soul as well as the ears." - Bill Meyer, Signal to Noise
"Barbecue Bob in Fishtown distills the best qualities of Jones’ musical vision into a finely honed summation of his distinctly singular style. A timeless recording, one to be held up as one of the best examples of the genre by a unique player dubbed by writer Bill Meyer in Signal to Noise as “…an elder amongst the disciples”.'
