Henry Flynt - Hillbilly Tape Music

[@turloughsmith8479]

The first part of this sends me skywards.... Absolutely joyous...

[@annsputnik]

I heard this endlessly through my pregnancy. I felt I was beyond the Earth.

[@chrisc5029]

reminds me very much of the work of John Fahey, but from a totally different angle.

[@jimmetesky6019]

Well, now that's an interesting take. And I totally get it.

[@stevecross9922]

David Grubbs' book 'RECORDS RUIN THE LANDSCAPE' brought me here. Great music. The book is great too...

[@DanHintz]

astonishing and marvelous. used to play this on my late night show at KUSF in san francisco.

[@morganfitzp]

Just read David Grubbs’ chapter about Flynt in the book “Records Ruin the Landscape.” Give it a spin.

[@Anarchidi]

THEE David Grubbs from Squirrel Bait, Bitch Magnet, Bastro and Gastr del Sol?!

[@morganfitzp]

And don’t forget THEE Red Krayola.

[@nastis-net]

hell yeah baby

[@jimmetesky6019]

Quoting one of the essays on his website, "Taking the fascism out of bluegrass."

[@Vingul]

As if bluegrass was fascistic to begin with. Moronic thing to say.

[@XanarchistBlogspot]

Yeah pretty dumb redneck used to mean the red bandana of Union coal miners in Appalachia.

[@ycck]

very good mario kart soundtrack

[@barefootarts737]

Epic. This would bring the dead to life. Awful and terrifying. Tears of joy.

[@nrg359]

Also: How awesome were the early 60s, when scrubbed young white radicals who wanted to tear down Lincoln Center still wore tweed sportcoats and sweaters?

[@televikkuntdaowuxing]

The sense of fashion changes over history, so what seems to us cool and classy was pretty standard back then

Jamais Henry Flynt ne se satisfera de sa technique ni de son art de jouer. Ca lui paraissait toujours en deçà de son ambition comme de son idéal, s'il travaillait avec acharnement, le résultat inévitablement le décevait. Tout ce qu'il créait le frustrait, il lui a toujours semblé qu'il pouvait mieux faire, "mieux voir" ... Nulle critique ne lui a infligé de plus dures remontrances que celles qu'il s'adressait chaque jour et à mesure qu'il avançait, le résultat lui paraissait plus difficile et inutile. Il en a souffert comme ont dû souffrir les premiers alchimistes de constater qu’au final, tout ce qu'ils entendaient ou ressentaient, ne se transforme pas aussitôt en or.

[@rifethompson3389]

Absolutely amazing music. Makes Me proud to be from the south. Superb recording quality. SHIT yes!

[@my_wheelhouse]

This is a what a we call a barn raiser.

[@nrg359]

Taiwan Housing Project brought me here. This is incredible, how have I not heard this before?!?!?!?!?

[@StephaneVorstellung]

Until 2004 hardly anyone had heard anything he made. With the exception of a limited edition cassette that was released in Europe, no recordings were issued when he was a regularly active musician.

[@arcaliasgiants9813]

Yeehavishnu!

Early Kraut Rock?

[@Jesse-ek3en]

not early recorded in 70s

[@trentnunyabiz6204]

Sounds like tony conrad with faust.

[@jimmetesky6019]

The Beatles were in Hamburg and Berlin back then, writing moon/June songs and playing recycled US blues for comparison. I know that ain't Kraut Rock, but I couldn't resist. But Flynt knew John Cale, and yes, the Krautists and everyone else lined up after him, so....

[@TheTokyo1969]

Switched On Country?

[@grinningevildeath]

There’s actually a couple of those already by Gil Trythall. Nashville gold and switch on Nashville aka country moog. Both are great!! :)
