Richard Thompson-Grizzly Man O.S.T.

Following Fahey, I should probably post something by my possibly all time favorite guitarist. Fairport Convention, paired up with his former wife, and solo, Thompson always destroyed, and still does. Unfortunately, he's often spotted now wearing bad hats and covering Britteny Spears. But here is where he shines. Truly amazing instrumental music for a film that doesn't even need music to be entertaining. Even if you don't like the movie (you would be stupid though) you can still enjoy this blessed work. Proof that old dudes are still worthy of owning instruments. Take note kiddies.

Sonny Sharrock-Black Woman

Right, I know the label says esp-disk, but this really came out on vortex. But how many people know about vortex really? So this is guitar god Sharrock noodling around while other jazz luminaries (namely Dave Burrell & Milford Graves) create a sound network upon which Sharrock's wife, Linda, coos, screams, and howls. I know that description might make it sound like this is some chaotic mess, but it isn't at times it's quite melodic in fact. Oh, yeah, some of you might remember Sharrock from his theme to Space Ghost.
