Blue Ghost Blues - HAUNTED HOUSE CD
Product Description The blues has grown up a lot in the last ten years,since guitarist Andrew Burnes left New York forGeorgia, bringing a de facto end to the powerfulabstract blues of Haunted House. In the timesince, a new generation sometimes referred to asFreak Folk or New Weird America and spearheadedby Tom Carter, Jack Rose, and Ben Chasny hasfollowed in the footsteps of Loren Connors, JohnFahey, and a handful of others who have longmaintained that the blues is something more than12 bars and a backbeat.After the demise of Haunted House Connorscontinued preaching the gospel, often with hiswife Suzanne Langille, playing a slow, distorted,reverb-drenched blues as the world slowly beganto come around. Then, in the Summer 2010, thestars aligned just so: Andrew Burnes was in townfor a few days, percussionist Neel Murgai wasavailable, and Brooklyn s Issue Project Room wasbooking matinee concerts in their courtyard. Theband had only existed for a brief two years and hadbeen absent for a decade, but they picked up rightwhere they left off with only a brief soundcheck asrehearsal. Another matter of months, and they werein the studio, recording this follow-up to their 1999Erstwhile release Up In Flames. Review [Connors] is an American original in much thesame sense as John Fahey or Jandek, in that he schosen a classically American form, in this casethe blues, and in true pioneer spirit taken it offsomewhere else, crossed it with other forms ... andshaped it into a uniquely individual vision of themodern American myth. --The WireConnors isn t a cult hero for no reason. His musicis awe-inspiring. ... a one-person gentle tornado,Connors can get deep into human feelings with asingle guitar. --PopMattersAdditional Info: Personnel: Suzanne Langille (vocals); Andrew Burnes, Loren Connors (guitar); Neel Murgai (kanjira, daf).Specifics
