About this product
Limited vinyl LP pressing of this 2003 album. Part of a collaboration with Jack Rose's estate and Three Lobed Records to restore all of his LPs to print, VHF presents a new vinyl edition of the celebrated guitarist's solo album, newly cut by John Golden Mastering from the original source material. This charts an eclectic, more experimental approach left behind as his technique and compositions became more refined and deliberate on later works. Recorded and originally released in 2003, Opium Musick is an eclectic collection with pieces for 12-string (the percussive and dark InchBlack PearlsInch), 6-string, and lap guitar. The lovely raga-ish InchYaman BluesInch features Mike Gangloff (Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) on tanpura, and echoes the extended modal work on Pelt's contemporaneous Pearls From The River. The near-ragtime of InchLinden Ave StompInch showcases Glenn Jones on his vintage Gibson in a jumping duet with Rose's lap steel. InchLinden AveInch charted a path that Rose would determinedly pursue-short ragtime and old-time influenced pieces (originals and classics), with all phrasing worked out to a perfectionist standard. The lovely InchMountaintop LamentoInch was memorably used in Catherine Pancake's film about coal mining in Appalachia, Black Diamonds Mountaintop Removal and the Fight for Coalfield Justice.

Limited vinyl LP pressing of this 2002 album. Part of a collaboration with Jack Rose's estate and Three Lobed Records to restore all of his LPs to print, VHF presents a new vinyl edition of the celebrated guitarist's solo album, newly cut by John Golden Mastering from the original source material. This charts an eclectic, more experimental approach left behind as his technique and compositions became more refined and deliberate on later works. Rose's 2002 solo debut Red Horse, White Mule was a bit of an outlier in the underground gestalt at the time, coming just before the wave of releases from the new generation of Takoma/Fahey-inspired players. Strictly a solo affair, Red Horse balances the epic, side-long raga of InchRed HorseInch against a second side of shorter pieces, including the ragged slide style of InchThe Colonel's Blues.Inch The compositions and performances incorporate the new and the classic with a rough-hewn charm.
![J Fernandez - Many Levels of Laughter - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/458ebd69-0bd8-485c-ba3c-6f75298cb211.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
On his debut album, Many Levels of Laughter, Fernandez definitely takes the listener on a trip. Track to track, this album changes colors; from the chugging, Deerhunter style swirl of opener InchBetween the Channels,Inch straight through to the synthesizer weirdness of closer InchMelting Down,Inch which descends into a near-perfect coda, Fernandez keeps the listener on her/his toes.
