Imaginational Anthem (Volume Five)
"The essential contemporary guitar anthology series continues. 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, available November 13, 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. "I felt I'd exhausted most of the older guys I wanted to dig up, and I wasn't hearing that much new guitar that I really liked. I sensed that Sam knew what was going on." The result is a gorgeous panoramic view of contemporary guitar, full of agile finger-style, and a few jagged detours. Imaginational Anthem vol. 5 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"
