Release Notes:

The full working titled for this is 'Open Strings: Early
Virtuoso Recordings From The Middle East, And New Responses'
(Honest Jons) HJRCD39

This is the fourth release in Honest Jon's series of albums
exploring the earliest 78s held in the EMI Hayes Archive. Open
Strings is a dazzling selection of virtuoso string-playing
from Egypt, Iran, Iraq and Turkey, all recorded in the 1920s,
and pretty much unheard ever since. In addition, Open Strings
includes a disc of newly-commissioned responses to the themes
in this music by underground luminaries committed to the drone
such as Sir Richard Bishop of legendary Sun City Girls renown,
West Coast psych-guitarist Ben Chasny aka Six Organs Of
Admittance, UK folk-guitarist Rick Tomlinson aka Voice Of The
Seven Woods, and Western Massachusetts' raga-inspired duo, MV
And EE. From resonant bow-drone, to frenetic fret-runs to
delicate, circular acoustic musings to sitar fever-dreams, no
matter the nationality, there is a resonance and truth in this
music that is ancient, timeless and transcendent. Scorchers
past and present, every one. Other artists include: Micah Blue
Smaldone, Michael Flower, Charlie Parr, Bruce Licher, Paul
Metzger, and Steffen Basho-Junghans.
