17 instrumentals solo pieces for Dobro or lapstyle guitar, weaving elements of acoustic fingerstyle, blues, indian, middle eastern and free improvisation.........
Bio / Background
Birds is the first collection of solo instrumental compositions
by Dobro virtuoso lloyd Thayer. The album features 17 acoustic
soundscapes all played on lapstyle guitar, meaning, the guitar is
played flat in the lap and fretted with a metal bar. Thayer’s playing
is rooted in the tradition of John Fahey, Robbie Basho, and other
Takoma artists, but also contains deep echoes of an older, outsider
group of players from the 1920s like Sylvester Weaver and Frank
Hutchinson.
From the regal beauty of songs like “Great Blue Heron” or
“War Never Ends” to the haunting, mysterious richness of “February Grebe”
and “24 Hours,” lloyd’s playing covers a wide range of emotions and
moods.
