American primitivism in Eastern Europe? One of the earliest connection might be the Dobro guitar, known a brand that built acoustic guitars with a metal resonator to amplify the sounds.

A fine solo acoustic guitar album from the British Isles by Louis Alberry. I always love it when musicians use field recordings to reference a place they try to describe with their music. Enjoy some guitar instrumentals introduced by the sound of water, footsteps or birds.

Too much good music, not enough time, but here I pull out this record by Alex Archibald who released quite a few albums over the last few years. They all seem to have flown a bit under the radar of “American Primitive Weekly” and even this little blog (slash label).

Welcome to another installment of the Morning Ragas series. This “Summer Morning Ragas” are carefully selected from a 80 gigabyte stack of new music that I collected over the last months.

Time for a new edition of the Morning Raga, the mix with focus on american primitivism and solo guitar instrumentals.

If you are of the age were your parents put up records with songs and fairy tales to entertain you, then the record cover could remind you on one of those children records.

Welsh guitarist Toby Hay goes back to his roots and recorded an album of just him and his custom 12-string guitar.

A new album of homerecordings by Czech fingerstyle guitarist Jakub Šimanský is finally available online after a CD only release via the Czech Full Moon Forum magazine .
