so i finally found an original LP of my very favorite robbie basho record after looking for this for many years. a crazy collection of records came into the local store the other day & it included most all of the robbie basho albums (and a lot of fahey & other great stuff too). i was never happy with the mp3 rip of this album that has been floating around the internet for awhile, so here is a nice sounding new rip by yours truly with full high quality scans of the cover and insert.
enjoy this beautiful album by a truly original master american musician!
