Glenn Jones
http://frontporchproductions.org/artist/glennjonesBefore embarking on his solo career, Glenn put out nine albums with the Boston based psych band Cul de Sac over the course of their 20 year history, including collaborations with Damo Suzuki and John Fahey. As a soloist, Jones has further explored that Fahey-influenced American Primitive approach to playing guitar and has released four albums of solo acoustic steel string guitar, six-string, 10-string and bottleneck, and 5-string open-back banjo and has collaborated with such musicians as Jack Rose and Chris Corsano. Simply put, this guy is a brilliant guitarist and it's a real treat to have him playing in Amma's basement.
