They Say...
This is an extremely unusual album collecting solo acoustic guitar pieces from Steve Baughman, Michael Stadler, Jody Stecher, and Alec Stone-Sweet done in a clawhammer style. Clawhammer is an old-time banjo technique (sometimes called frailing) that places emphasis on down-picking (using the back of the fingernail) and it bares little relation to what is generally considered fingerpicking. On banjo it creates a modal, archaic sound far removed from the bluegrass style most people these days associate with banjos. When applied to guitar, at least by these fine players, the modal elements remain and the sound is full, bright, and familiar, yet a little alien and odd. The performances here are amazing, without a single lame track, and this rare playing style, old as the hills, could very well revolutionize how acoustic guitar is played in the 21st century.
