Harry Taussig is the second artist I’ve written about for a Sunday post from the label Thomkins Square Records. His “new” record is a re-release of a short run private press lp from 1965. This record is apparently treasured by early American Primitive guitar enthusiasts and compares to the work of John Fahey and Robbie Basho.
Fate Is Only Once (links to jpegs of original `65 cover and back cover) came out on the day of the devil (o6-06-06) but since the world did not come to an end it’s safe now to purchase it here.

Bonus song from a band no doubt influenced by Harry Taussig (and of course the oft mentioned John Fahey). Triple Burner is the new project and album from guitarist Harris Newman and Bruce Cawdron (Godspeed You Black Emperor). It’s like they take some of that Fahey, Basho and Taussig acoustic picking and turn it up a notch and then add progressive rock percussion. The new record is available on the Quebec label Madrona Records. Here’s “Bride Of Bad Attitude”. Buy it here.
