"Originally released on Grapefruit records in an extremely limited edition, reissued here with new tracks. Marisa Anderson continues her streak of amazing solo guitar LPs. On first glance of the track listing you may feel like you've heard it all before -- classic folk songs and anthems -- but trust me, Marisa takes these tunes to places they have never been. The vibe is heavy on this one. The guitar playing is beautiful at points and intense at others. Not for the faint of heart. Comes with liner notes written by Marisa herself!"

"On her newest release, Into the Light, Marisa Anderson leaves Appalachia and the Delta blues behind as she journeys west, into the heart of the sun. Written as the soundtrack to an imaginary science-fiction western film, the record's ten songs trace the story of a visitor lost and wandering on the shifting borderlands of the Sonoran desert. Into the Light is shimmering and cinematic, the pieces built around pedal steel, lap steel and electric piano as well as Anderson's signature guitar sound."

IMPREC 395CD

CD version of the 2009 Mississippi Records release. Highly recommended to followers of the Blackshaw/Wissem line of acoustic instrumental composition that runs through the Imprec catalog. From the original notes: "Portland guitar virtuoso Marisa Anderson is back with a new set of home-recorded instrumentals. This time around we find Marisa exploring structures more based on the Appalachian folk tradition. The bluesy cadences of Marisa's other previous release -- Golden Hour -- are still there but more in an emotional sense than a structural. It's rare to find a record that has just one instrument with no vocals that can achieve real emotional communication -- but here 'tis. Marisa thoughtfully composed & recorded this LP over the course of the last two years. It was worth the wait."

Portland guitar wizard Marisa Anderson's long-awaited solo guitar record. Marisa has been a fixture on many a music scene for years and years, playing with everyone from the Evolutionary Jass Band to Tara Jane O'Neil to The Dolly Ranchers. In any context, she can't escape her rag/blues/folk roots, no matter how hard she tries. On this LP featuring only guitar, no vocals, no overdubs, we are treated to a very intimate-sounding home recording filled with delicate grace. Comparisons to John Fahey and his ilk are bound to occur, but won't be the last words. Marisa Anderson: guitar and lap steel. Mixed by Jesse Johnson. Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk.

A contemporary record that can hold its own against the various re-issued folk music on our label."
