about

A half hour of mesmerizing and beautiful fingerstyle guitar from Chicago's Johnny Young. 'II' is as at home in Harry Smith's 'old weird America' as it is in early 60's Takoma Park and, because craft this impeccable and pure-hearted is timeless, it's at home in the mid-summer evening in 2015 that I'm writing this down. Young's playing is rich in Fahey-esque technique that lends itself to meditative listening sessions, a pastoral escape from the waves of vacuous, juddering internet nonsense that wash over so many other hours.

Limited to 100. Packaged with a fold-out mini-poster.

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough

Herr Obst has had his ear to the proverbial ground, listening for groundbreaking outsider folk and solo acoustic guitar music, for what seems like ages. He is a premier curator, especially of european music, and this volume of 'Imaginational Anthem' displays that great talent. MarkOhe
