Greetings.
Curious if you’ve heard the track off the upcoming Bonnie “Prince “ Billy & eighth blackbird collaboration. Very much looking forward to hearing the rest of this recording, especially having seen them live together performing Frederic Rzewski’s Coming Together.
I just started reading your MCM guide and will refer to it often in the coming weeks and months. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Hoping you might make a personal recommendation, as I see your scope of music is quite wide. I’d be very interested to hear anything similar to Jerry Garcia’s solo guitar improvisations on the 1960’s Zabriski Point soundtrack, regardless of genre. Very soft and sparse pieces, nothing like the music he’s much more known for.
