Jack Rose


Also listening to Jack Rose today, American guitarist, someone you'll like if you're into the James Blackshaw, John Fahey thing--open tunings, experimentation. Some of the stuff he does is folk sounding ("Kensington Blues", is one album), and it's cool, but the really hip stuff is on "Raag Manifestos" and "Opium Music", where an eastern, foreboding sound dominates, more sitar than acoustic guitar.
