New on Immune Recordings, the latest from English guitarist C Joynes… Joynes calls his style “Anglo-Naive and Contemporary Parlour Guitar”, and it’s a clever (yet fitting) description! The album features a wide range of melodic approaches, with influences ranging from minimalism to British folk, from country blues to Indian classical music and more.
Check out this piece about Joynes on Dusted, and buy the limited edition LP from Immune Recordings or the CD from Bo’Weavil.

Pelt guitarist and American Primitive master Jack Rose has died of a heart attack, at the age of just 38.
What can I say… Jack was a fantastic picker and a big inspiration, for me and many others. I just played a show with him in late September, and you can see videos from Jack’s performance here.
