Steve Gunn

Vinyl LP pressing. 2013 album from the New York-based guitarist and songwriter. The album opens with the sublime, meditative 'Water Wheel', a paean to the water wheel's constant turn/open views and days to burn and indeed Time Off sounds as if Steve has swum full circle to reach the headwaters of his musical practice. This is Gunn at the top of his game, utterly unique but steeped in traditions both vernacular and avant-garde. Jump in.
