Glenn Jones (American Primitive Guitarist)

Glenn Jones is a unique voice working in the decades-long tradition of American Primitivism. What sets him apart from the many devotees to this style is the combination of expressive playing and technical skill, most significantly his inventive use of alternate tunings and partial capos. As anyone knows who has seen him perform, Glenn is a remarkable storyteller, and his songs reflect that talent. The songs on Glenn’s latest, My Garden State, are evocative and redolent, and serve as a testament to Glenn’s talent for conveying a wide array of emotions, many times in one song, without saying a word. Glenn's new record has already been rated as one of NPR's top 25 albums of the year: http://www.npr.org/2013/06/06/189336285/npr-musics-25-favorite-albums-of-the-year-so-far. 

"The last two years have been an embarrassment of riches for the American Primitive guitar style... Glenn Jones is one of its most faithful practitioners; each of his records is somehow more understated and astonishing than the last. On My Garden State, every pluck and strum is methodical, yet each is a quiet wonder." - NPR Music
