Totally zoning to this early solo outing from Brooklyn-based guitarist Steve Gunn. Fans of American primitive picking à la Jack Rose or Robbie Basho might want to give Mr. Gunn the time-of-day. Self-released on CD-R in 2007, I'd been looking high & low for this one. Big ups to Owl (as ever) for the hook-up.
Well, I guess that 2010 is the year it became cool again to rock some Seger. I've definitely started seeing that Bob Seger System LP on good record shelves everywhere. At least partly responsible for this is Never Mind The Bullets; a cool bootleg CD-R of pre-Silver Bullets stuff that surfaced last year on ILXOR & copped a good number of votes on the Village Voice's 2010 Pazz & Jop Album Poll (#111). I retagged the original rip first upped at Ilxor. The bit rates are sort of all over the place, but hey- sounds good + free music, so...* Big thanks to Steve for passing this my way.
