Sir Richard Bishop - Hillbilly Ragas

Waving his axe of choice, Sir Richard Bishop once again summons forth damnable truth and beauty on an all-new musical kamikaze run through histories both written and - as of yet - not commonly known. Since the dying days of the 20th century, the composer / player of spirited polytheistic guitar recitals including ‘Salvador Kali’, ‘Improvika’, ‘The Freak of Araby’, ‘Tangier Sessions’ and, most recently, ‘Oneiric Formulary’ has worked feverishly to wrench and wrangle all the music that has and can possibly fall out of the guitar from east to west across this great, totally fucked world of ours. With ‘Hillbilly Ragas’, Sir Rick stretches his callused hands across the waters to draw diverse musics back to his shack with the gladiatorial bloodthirst and balance of gravitas and jocosity we expect from him in every hot little moment of play.
