The Thousand Incarnations Of The Rose: American Primitive Guitar And Banjo (1963-1974) celebrates the groundbreaking, inventive approach to traditional music brought forward by a collection of maverick artists whose interpretations of folk, blues and traditional song gave rise to one of American music’s most unique and singular styles.
