The influential folk guitarist came to prominence in the early-'60s vanguard scene for his accomplished techniques that absorbed equally traditional and country finger-picking, Indian ragas, and jazz improvisation. His forays into six- and 12-string folk guitar technique are unmatched, utterly exquisite developments which, alongside the early recordings of John Fahey and Robbie Basho, make up some of the most inspired and profound American folk music of the '60s. On his early recordings, the young guitarist can be heard shaping the Eastern-inspired folk guitar sound that would echo through the world of folk and rock for the ensuing decades. Among those listening must have been Byrds' Roger McGuinn. Working with artists from the American jazz scene, including Billy Higgins and Don Cherry, Sandy Bull was somewhat of a precursor the genre known today as world music. After years of silence, he produced a couple of albums of intriguing music on the fringes of new age. This 1991 recording features plenty of his inimitable guitar work and contributions from Bernard Purdie and percussionist Aiyb Dieng, among others.
