#NowPlaying Sunny Ade & His Green Spot Band - The Master Guitarist Vol. 1 (African Songs Ltd, 1970). More raw than his better-known 80s records, but already a potent rhythmic and lyrical force.
I get to see Tortoise in 2 weeks! They've been on my radar for a long time but rarely venture south. Icing on the cake is opener Rich Ruth, whose latest record was mixed by Tortoise's John McEntire. Looking forward to an atmospheric night in Asheville.

Rich Ruth - I Survived, It's Over (Third Man, 2022)
Glad to find a cheap copy of this classic. Was a big Squirrel Bait fan and was impressed where they went with Slint and other projects after the breakup.
