Instrumental, fingerstyle, acoustic guitar music.
Bio / Background
"In a culture dominated by market place values, in which musical conformity is rewarded and individuality shunned, we respect and defend the sanctity of the individual and his or her right (indeed, if he or she is being honest) to create music true to the uniqueness of his or her personality"... Ran Blake, excerpt from "The Primacy of the Ear"
Durable Americana represents John Danley's 6th release on his own, Nashville based, A Priori label. This recording introduces a collection of instrumental, fingerstyle, acoustic guitar music with an emphasis on entertainment value. Specific tunes on this recording allude to the deconstruction of manufactured accessibility in a consumer culture.
There is nothing specifically "alt-country" about this album. Durable Americana is an instrumental guitar manifesto concerned with an analysis of corporate marketing, social satire, and the DIY (Dee Eye Why?) phenomenon. Part pickin', part capitalist, pop-culture critique.
