Jack Rose - Kensington Blues (Full Album)

[@lynnbrown6485]

I love Cathedral et Chateres. Just beautiful.

[@frankd8598]

C’est vraiment un album fabuleux atmosphérique transportant dans une ambiance mystique et enveloppante. Un véritable tour de force et certainement un des meilleurs album de primitive guitar que j’ai entendu.

[@fabiena.6675]

"primitive guitar", on devrait dire ça pour les metalleux! ;)

[@TrashBettyBoop]

Je suis d'accord ! Et c’est la première fois que j'entends parler de Primitive Guitar, chouette découverte vraiment !

[@j.s.7894]

Cross The North Fork will always be one of my favorite songs to listen to on a long drive through the dead of night. Rest in peace legend.

When I first got into reading as an adult I used to put on this album and read Blood Meridian or As I Lay Dying and it becane a completely immersive experience.

i miss Jack Rose a lot.......

[@basilmaguire5521]

Jack Rose's music is intensely superperb. We lost a uniquely American original musical genius when he passed away too young, but, thank God, Rose left us a huge menagerie of his life's work for us all to immerse ourselves in.

[@PNWOverland]

I miss him too....but have only been into his music for a few years. Besides Kensington Blues, what albums to do recommend?

[@psocidaepsocidae6683]

@@PNWOverland his self titled album is his best imo

[@niamhgirling6000]

So say we all

[@lynnbrown6485]

He died so young and such a long time ago. I can only imagine how much his work would have improved. It was so perfect. Another good artist of that time was John Fahey also lost too young...

But without melody!

[@garymelnyk7910]

@@niamhgirling6000 Yes, I actually agree with that. Two of my favourite Fahey pieces are The Singing Bridge of Memphis Tennessee, and Guitar Excursion Into The Unknown.

Great stuff.

maybe consider taking advertising off this - ruins the experience- more importantly thankyou for posting this masterpiece.

You should use an ad-blocking extension like uBlock Origin then. If you're on Android check out KZbin Vanced. It's basically KZbin Premium but free.

@@LabSkaterPussies actually if you know how youtube works you wouldnt say that. the monetizing money of AD goes to the label who owns the right of this music. you can see that if you open the description.

[@MisterNiles]

Wait. I heard some stuff by Jack Rose and didn't like it. Is all of his stuff this good? Holy shit.

[@alicasoto4497]

[@arturoespinoza3028]

[@maxpilati2911]

Tantric blues

[@sacredgeometrymusic3290]

to be more precise it's called quatre de chifre

Jack died 11 years ago

[@alexv3266]

Great record. Though, with the passage of time, Jack was really nothing but a composite of Fahey and Basho who had great tone and could swing, but he had no real ideas or voice of his own, but had he lived I'm sure he would have. Take Charlie Schmidt for example. He became known because he copied Fahey on a record, but once he released his own record it sounded nothing like Fahey----Jack never got there.

[@nihalhakim5148]

I disagree, I think Jack pulled far more from raaga music and sitar techniques than Fahey - who himself pulled most of his source material from American spirituals, folk, and some blues. All these artists never hid their influences, it’s all a continuous river and streams

[@alexv3266]

Yeah, he pulled the Americana stuff from Fahey, and the raga from Basho, as I mentioned in my original comment.

[@anmainisto]

Lol cope

[@sacredgeometrymusic3290]

and vivaldi copied corelli with his "la follia" 😏 jack music wouldnt sound that good if it was mearly a copy or an imitation. i think it was very originaland sound very differently from basho and fahey

[@paddymeboy]

@@sacredgeometrymusic3290 That's not true, if you accurately copy good music it will of course sound good! And it's not a question of influences, of course everyone has those but it's whether you succeed in developing them into something distinctive of your own. This guy is new to me but, on the evidence of this album, the original comment by Alex V is spot-on - except that, if Rose hadn't developed his own voice by the time he died at 38, it's unlikely he ever would have done. Basho wasn't much older than that himself, when he died.
