Barbecue Bob in Fishtown

Guitarist/composer Glenn Jones claims a lengthy, rich relationship to what his longtime friend John Fahey so famously dubbed "American Primitive Guitar." Barbecue Bob in Fishtown explores the possibilities of classical composition within American folk forms and solo instrumentation. Jones is able to discover and project wide-screened cinema from just six and twelve strings, coaxing vivid panoramic images from his sparkling fingerstyle playing. Experimentation with tuning and various capos of his own invention are wed with delicately expressive playing and a remarkable compositional prowess. Barbecue Bob in Fishtown also finds Jones' performing solo on 5-string banjo for the first time on record, exhuming the spirit of Clive's Original Band as seen through a Al Wilson-esque prism. Barbecue Bob in Fishtown distills the best qualities of Jones' vision into a finely honed summation of his distinctly singular style.
