Australian import, limited edition black vinyl.
North Carolina artist Blake Hornsby’s wonderful fingerpicking, psych-folk album Dogwood Dance draws on the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina, the fingerpicking of Takoma and the ragas of India.
"This is a solo guitar record that goes very much against the grain of this well established genre.
Hornsby, a guitarist located in Boone, NC, utilizes the texture of his instrument’s strings, unusual palm-muting, and at times, even some semi-percussive fingerpicking styles to create fantasias that are psychedelically-minded and far progressed from what you’d heard from the typical Takoma school of thought.
