The last track, Blues For The Great Refreshing Earth Bodhisattva, is particularly stunning. Fans of France will enjoy.
Check out my new record “Revolutions” out now at Bandcamp. Getting the Cantareel working with my steel guitar has really been a mind changer for me. Thanks for all the support out there! ❤️🔥

On this day in 1983, on John Peel's show, I first heard the record that blew my 15 year old mind and changed my listening habits overnight. The first song Gina Birch wrote, and it's still stunning.
