ROBBIE BASHO – Venus in Cancer Folk Psych Nude Cover
DESCRIPTION:
BLUE THUMB RECORDS, BTS 10
You’re bidding on a really RARE and beautiful gatefold record called ROBBIE BASHO – Venus in Cancer. Record has a few light scuffs but nothing that effects playback. ULTRA RARE!!!
Robbie Basho was the least celebrated of the trio of '60s acoustic guitar virtuosos who established themselves as innovators on the Takoma label (the other two were John Fahey and Leo Kottke). It's not hard to surmise why Basho found a natural home on Takoma. Like Fahey and Kottke, he was determined to expand the horizons of the acoustic steel-string guitar by utilizing dissonance, unusual tunings, and influences from all over the world. Astrological concepts and mystically inspired recording from the brilliant American folk guitarist Robbie Basho, whose work is as essential in the continuum of folk music as that of the masters John Fahey and Sandy Bull. The American primitive guitarist created some of the most stunning solo guitar improvisations, which drew heavily on Eastern modalities and structure forms — his work recalls the Indian raga of Ravi Shankar as much as it does Appalachian folk. This 1970 album is a glorious display of his technique that later proved to be a profound influence on a generation of folk guitarists such as Rod Poole and Stefan Grossman. Robbie Basho was greatly admired by contemporaries — six-string masters Burt Jansch, John Renbourn, and John Fahey among them. This 1970 recording is the last of what could be called his American primitive recordings — his later works are equally gorgeous, although he went further into new age territory than is comfortable for many fans of instrumental American folk. Robbie Basho used raga and flamenco techniques to develop an entirely unique style with the steel-string acoustic — creating long, flowing melodies that are simply exquisite to hear. Essential stuff for the folk guitar fans.
ULTRA RARE!!
