Diggers will recognize the whimsical cover of Woody Harris’ 1976 Arhoolie Records debut LP, American Guitar Solos. For those lucky enough to find one, they’ll hear the classically trained New York native ranging freely through rags, ballads and blues. A contemporary of first-gen American Primitive Guitar masters including his friend Robbie Basho, Harris also shared bills with John Fahey, and contributed two songs to the 1979 Kicking Mule LP, 'A Tribute to John Fahey’. Harris toured and recorded with his dear friend and legendary blues guitarist Mike Bloomfield in the 70’s. After Bloomfield’s death, Harris earned his degrees in composition and musicology and moved to Germany in the 1980’s.
Blueish and Edgework are his first releases in 42 years.
