Description
Red Horse, White Mule documents the too rarely attempted, too rarely captured sound of sustained unemployment -- for more than a year, Jack Rose deprived himself of that soulache usually called 'the job'; instead scouring flea markets for rare records to sell on eBay to pay for his booze and cigarettes and spending the rest of his time in incessant guitar practice: 8, 9, 10 hours a day guitar practice. The results, of course, are staggering. Jack's always far-past-competent finger-picking turned monstrous, and his subject matter migrated from straight country blues to a highly personal exploration of outer, inner and other-dimensional space -- there are nods here to his heroes (I'll let others pick names), moments of ecstasy and dread, and an enviable sense of overriding peace: This is what the man was meant to do. And Kisan Nagai's liner notes are a headtwist in and of themselves.
Listened to once. Record is in near-mint condition. Cover would be near-mint but for a slight crease in the upper right-hand corner (visible in photo).
