marisa anderson: the golden hour

Portland guitar wizard Marisa Anderson's long-awaited solo guitar record. Marisa has been a fixture on many a music scene for years and years, playing with everyone from the Evolutionary Jass Band to Tara Jane O'Neil to The Dolly Ranchers. In any context, she can't escape her rag/blues/folk roots, no matter how hard she tries. On this LP featuring only guitar, no vocals, no overdubs, we are treated to a very intimate-sounding home recording filled with delicate grace. Comparisons to John Fahey and his ilk are bound to occur, but won't be the last words. Marisa Anderson: guitar and lap steel. Mixed by Jesse Johnson. Mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk.
