Radio Hour #1
I’ve been working on a book project, entitled Guitar Uncivilized, about the guitar and its strange/awesome “cowboy chords” for the last few years. It’s still a work in progress, but I’ve decided to start capturing some real-life examples in the form of a radio show, to share my research and listening recommendations. The first episode (featuring tracks by Frank Zappa, Robert Stillman, Kurt Cobain, Ingrid Laubrock, Jason Moran, Brandon Ross, Sibylle Baier, Pete Rende, and more) can be streamed/downloaded for free on Bandcamp here: https://guitaruncivilized.bandcamp.com/track/guitar-uncivilized-radio-hour-1
