Eugene Chadbourne Volume 2: Solo Acoustic Guitar Eugene Chadbourne: acoustic guitar
Before Shockabilly, before the Downtown New York scene,
there was a guy in Alberta playing very strange things on an
acoustic guitar. This disc is a reissue of the classic and
long out-of-print second solo LP by legendary guitar madman
Eugene Chadbourne. Beautifully recorded, and mastered
directly from the master tapes, Volume 2 is an essential
document of Chadbourne's innovative prepared guitar playing.
This reissue also includes three previously unreleased tracks
from the same period (ca. 1976). Volume 2: Solo Acoustic
Guitar is a unique document of the new directions in
guitar playing that Chadbourne helped pioneer in the US.
Notes from the original release (an excerpt)
"This is a recording of solo guitar music. The pieces are
heard basically as they were played in real time, with no
overdubbing. A total of four notes were eliminated due to
problems with immigration. There are several sounds on this
recording which the performer had nothing to do with..."
"Eugene Chadbourne uses cheap, battered Harmony Guitars from pawnshops exclusively, but stay tuned for further developments." Total time: 74:00
Oh, and the CD booklet folds out into a nice sepia-toned poster of the "guitar tree." Perfect for the dorm room or basement.
