Release Notes:
This is a new recording from folk legend Peter Walker recorded
live during a California tour in 2006. (Mastered by Gary
Hobish).
In 1966 Peter Walker created a record called Rainy Day Raga,
where he took the sound of the Eastern Ragas and translated
them into the consciousness of the LSD generation, America.
The record is still considered to be a classic of its genre,
sited as a primary influence on the new psych/folk sounds of
this now generation.
Peter, like the great blues guitar pickers before him,
disappeared from public and recorded life for decades, and yet
practiced and studied all along. Spanish Guitar is the
culmination of this past era, finding Peter starting up where
he left off with Rainy Day Raga, tracing his beloved Indian
sound to Spain, where the gypsies went to redefine Spanish
music and create what is now known as Flamenco.
This record is to Flamenco how Rainy Day Raga was to Ragas; an
inspired sound that combines all of Peter's studying with his
Western lens to create a sound that is so signature, and so
beautifully played, that it creates in itself a new genre.
This is a sound you will not hear anywhere else; a sound that
is transcendental; a sound that until now only belonged to the
heavens.
