AMG Review of The Falconer's Arm, Vol. 2
Skip Jansen
All Music GuideThis 1968 album, a monumental piece of folk guitar invention from the pioneering American six-string master, fuses the drones of Indian aga to flamenco and raditional folk in a similar fashion to his peers John Fahey and Sandy Bull. Robbie Basho had a profound influence on a younger generation of acoustic folk guitarists such as Leo Kottke and Stefan Grossman, who adapted many of his techniques into their repertoires. The Falconer's Arm, Vol. 2 is the second in a thematic series of works the guitarist recorded in the '60s for Takoma. His later work went further into /p>
ew age territories and mysticism, yet his '60s recordings remain as essential to the anthology of American folk music as the work of John Fahey, with whom he shared more than a few traits in his six- and 12-string improvisations.
