I met Paula and her partner Chaplin travelling through Guatemala and comissioned this piece (the cover). I really love it and think she did a brilliant job! A couple of talented and friendly folks travelling through the americas. Check out their artwork.
Songs written in the woods of Alberta, the suburbs and cities of BC and the jungles of Central America...

Alex Archibald
Early Suburban Terrorism
Alex Archibald is another master of fingerstyle guitar solis inspired by Fahey's american primitive style. His playing is strong and melodic. He keeps the pieces on "Early Suburban Terrorism" short and on point. Between strong steel string guitar numbers, Archibald planted a few rural banjo tunes.
If you are into Glenn Jones, Jack Rose or acoustic guitar soli in general, grab this album. It might not add anything new to the genre, but it's great to hear musicians who master this kind of guitar playing and who are on their way to find their own signature sound.
