What We Say

If you don't like acoustic guitar music then look away now. Otherwise hit play on this wonderful tribute LP to Steffen Basho-Junghans, a German guitar exponent who I wasn't aware of until reading Folk Radio's review of this LP yesterday, but who obviously meant a lot to many & old friend Buck Curran in particular - the co-ordinator of this wonderful tribute on Obsolete. It's a wonderfully diverse collection, with its fair share of contemplative pieces, unsurprising considering the mortality LP premise, but it's rarely sombre, sometimes life celebratory, often experimental & a constantly surprising look at just what the instrument is capable of. I'm sure Junghans would approve.
