Oh man, thanks so much for posting this. Sandy Bull is a name I once heard of about 20 years ago that I never followed up on and had totally forgotten about. Can't wait to hear it.
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments are the same as kingpossum's, so thank you very much! If you're into proper guitar playing look up an Englishman called Dean McPhee: you won't be disappointed!
ReplyDeleteWow. This is Led Zeppelin meets Tinariwen before either existed. Holy fucking shit thank you for the post.

Thanks for the tip on Dean McPhee.

ReplyDeleteI checked out Fatima's Hand by Mr. McPhee and you are corrected--not disappointed. What that guy can do with a Telecaster and a couple pedals is sublime. Hearty thanks for the recommendation.
It reminds me the 'Cornflower suite' album, by Suni McGrath, maybe worth checking
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend checking Still Valentines Day to anyone who digs this record. It's a live recording of Sandy playing in the late sixties that was put out a few years ago. He's doing his thing on it but also doing a little bit weird tape experimentation as well. One of my favorite solo guitar records.
ReplyDeletethanks for this, and the above rec. for still vd....any chance of uploading e pluribus unum, or any others?
ReplyDeleteFirst enjoyed Sandy Bull - Inventions when I was in high school. It was new then...and, yes, I am old. DEAR_SPIRIT, your blog is greatly appreciated.
