Sir Richard Bishop – Hillbilly Erotica (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Sir Richard Bishop has spent decades operating at the outer edges of the acoustic guitar tradition, from his work with Sun City Girls through his solo catalog on Drag City, consistently refusing to separate technical mastery from genuine strangeness. That combination of deep roots literacy and improvisational abandon is exactly what makes a premise like this one land, because Bishop understands the vernacular well enough to know precisely how far to bend it.
Guitar o'erlord Sir Richard Bishop: 'one guitar, six strings, no overdubs, 7/8ths improvised, 1/8 composed' are the terms for a faux vol 2 of inspired modal post-grass recitals, inherited recollections and new national anthems, a psychotic mash of uninherited recollection. Are y'all ready for some Hillbilly Erotica? RIYL: Doc Watson, Ricky Skaggs, Bill Orcutt
