I’ve recently gotten around to checking out the acoustic solo sounds of James Blackshaw. The guy’s an instrumental folk guitar genius; he makes me ashamed to say I attempt to play guitar. His playing is textured yet soothing- it’s the ultimate background music, and I mean it in a good way. You can do homework, read a book, stare at the stars, or do just about anything while listening to this. But, it can also be listened to with your full attention to unlock the intricacies of his sound. His latest, The Cloud of Unknowing, is 45 minutes of uninterrupted instrumental goodness. If you’re up for something different from the norm, give it a shot.
