Artist: Son of Buzzi
Album: Fluss
Label: Fire Is Free
Year: 2021
Stellar example of the beauty of 12-string guitar soli in the American primitive vein--on the same wavelength with the classic examples like John Fahey and Robbie Basho, but also more contemporary practitioners like James Blackshaw, Matthew J. Rolin, and Gwenifer Raymond. The recording boasts a lush, full guitar tone, capturing the full wood tone of the acoustic instrument and the subtle brass jangle of the strings. Son of Buzzi's fingerstyle picking is soothing, and his choice of harmony and melody contemplative in that sweet spot between modernist and rootsy, incorporating a drones on "Wir sind das Wasser" and "Der Weg nach Hause" (the latter also includes field sounds of a stream).
