George Stavis - Labyrinths (1969)



Ol' George, the Appalachian banjo wizard, once played guitar and sung songs in some band called Federal Duck. Then after some kind of epiphany he went and recorded this strange beast...an album of 'Occult Improvisational Compositions for 5 - string banjo and percussion'. It's like Robbie Basho, Ravi Shankar and some old hillybilly mystics cooked up together into a potent soup that's good for the mind and soul:



Tracklist:

01 Winter Doldrums
02 Finland Station Link03 My Favorite Thing
04 Firelight
