“ Bill Orcutt’s “John Fahey Commemorative Beer Can” may recall Derek Bailey, Arto Lindsay’s Aggregates 1-26, and Lick My Decals Off, Baby era-Magic Band all at once, but the ghostly moaning and tic-inspired single notes providing brittle shards of attack are distinctly Orcutt, an American original if ever there was one.

“ When Bill Orcutt is stuck in a moment of dual guitar abuse and adoration, he lets out a great, wordless blues moan, not dissimilar from the yawps Keith Jarrett so famously uses during his piano solos. You can hear it near the start of “John Fahey Commemorative Beer Can”, in the moment of stillness that lingers just before Orcutt begins to maul his strings. True, Orcutt makes his acoustic roar, but he also wrings melodies from its din, crumpling the tin can of sad nostalgia while acknowledging that what’s inside was pretty good, after all.
Imaginational Anthem, Vol. 5 reviewed on Pitchfork.com
March 30, 2013
Since 2005, Tompkins Square label’s ‘Imaginational Anthem’ compilations have featured some of the greatest acoustic guitarists in the world, with recordings spanning five decades. More than mere samplers, these albums have served as state-of-the-art dispatches from the front lines of the art form. The first three volumes, available as a low-priced box set, intermingled generations of American Primitive players - lost, forgotten masters next to contemporary players. Volume 4 saw a departure from that formula, featuring only new jack players. Volume 5 also features the current crop of younger players, but with a twist. This is the first volume not compiled by Tompkins Square’s Josh Rosenthal. Instead, he recruited guitarist Sam Moss. The result is a gorgeous panoramic view of contemporary guitar, full of agile finger-style, and a few jagged detours. Track Listing : 1. Temple Walk - Steve Gunn 2. I Think We’ll Be Happy Here- Jordan Fuller 3. Lookout Point- Danny Paul Grody 4. There Is A Place In This Old Town- Nick Schillace 5. Hemet Pine Singer- Will Stratton 6. John Fahey Commemorative Beer Can- Bill Orcutt 7. Confederate Rose- Daniel Bachman 8. Through A House Of Violet Abandon- Eric Carbonara 9. Her Unmediated Eyes- Tom Lecky 10. Standing At The Entrance Of A Hidden City- Alexander Turnquist 11. Modern Man In Search Of A Song- Cam Deas 12. Rivers Gone Badly Wrong- Yair Yona Tompkins Square
