Bridging the gap between American Primitive pioneers John Fahey, Robbie Basho and Leo Kottke, and the California Morderists William Ackerman, Alex de Grassi and Michael Hedges, GUITAR SOLI explores the private side of the solo guitar movement from 1966-1981. While Takoma and Windham Hill were laying the groundwork for the New Age marketing juggernaut of the mid-80s, these fourteen loners were picking away in tiny cafes, selling records hand to hand. The single disc set comes housed in a chipboard slipcase with a 40 page booklet, digipack and a limited edition Numero guitar pick and features Ted Lucas, Daniel Hecht, Dan Lambert, Jim Ohlschmid, Tom Smith, Mark Lang, Richard Grandell, Tree People, William Eaton, George Cromarty, Scott Witte, Brad Chequer, Dwayne Cannon and Dana Westover.
