In 1976, Kentucky native Mark Fosson recorded one dreamy album of solo guitar for John Fahey's Takoma Records. Due to the label going broke, the album went unreleased until Drag City issued it in 2006. Here, the Tompkins Square label has unearthed an even finer and earlier effort: demo bedroom recordings made on a 12-string guitar with a rented microphone on a reel-to-reel recorder. The sound is strikingly clear, the playing nimble and inventive. All songs are original compositions, with the exception of Gene Autry’s “Back in the Saddle Again.” Some pieces are a touch underdeveloped, but there’s an excited energy to the playing that helps mask that. Fans of both the more uptempo and song-oriented Leo Kottke/Michael Hedges realms of acoustic guitar and the downer, more ruminative American Primitive acoustic playing associated with Jack Rose and Fahey himself will find much to enjoy here.
