Album Notes

Armed with a 12 strings acoustic guitar, an intoxicated banjo and a cheeky Weissenborn, amongst other soaked instruments, Israel's Yair Yona adapts his British Folk influences and his love for the groundbreaking guitar works of John Fahey, to a captivating trip down memory lane of the 1920s & 1930s Mississippi and Delta blues, country, rag-time and contemporary acid-folk.

Through his happy/sad compositions, a clever Salute to the late Fahey and a somber wink to Godspeed You! Black Emperor with "Skinny Fists", the closing track on "Remember", Yona adds a brilliant album to the exclusive pantheon of innovative acid folk and modern blues albums.
