RELEASE DATE

This is the fourth release in Honest Jon's series of albums exploring the earliest 78s held in the EMI Hayes Archive.
Open Strings
is a dazzling selection of virtuoso string-playing from Egypt, Iran, Iraq and Turkey, all recorded in the 1920s, and pretty much unheard ever since. In addition,
Open Strings
includes a disc of newly-commissioned responses to the themes in this music by underground luminaries committed to the drone such as
Sir Richard Bishop
of legendary
Sun City Girls
renown, West Coast psych-guitarist
Ben Chasny
aka
Six Organs Of Admittance
, UK folk-guitarist
Rick Tomlinson
aka
Voice Of The Seven Woods
, and Western Massachusetts' raga-inspired duo,
MV And EE
. From resonant bow-drone, to frenetic fret-runs to delicate, circular acoustic musings to sitar fever-dreams, no matter the nationality, there is a resonance and truth in this music that is ancient, timeless and transcendent. Scorchers past and present, every one. Other artists include:
Micah Blue Smaldone
,
Michael Flower
,
Charlie Parr
,
Bruce Licher
,
Paul Metzger
, and
Steffen Basho-Junghans
.
