Live At Third Man Records by Live At Third Man Records, released on Third Man Records in 2015.

Recorded on July 18th, 2014 as the opening set for Peter Walker's psychedelic guitar experience, William Tyler's Live at Third Man Records LP was buried for far too long in our backlog of masters. To release it too soon would have unleashed the secrets of the transcendent and acclaimed record, Modern Country (Merge, 2016) before they had a chance to manifest. To wait any longer would have been torture for us. Originally planned to be a live single, the full, 5-song performance was too truthy, too seamless, and too perfectly whole to be whittled down to two tracks. So, surprise! A live LP is born.

Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wednesday after my swim with Lost Futures a studio album by American guitarists Marisa Anderson and William Tyler, released August 27, 2021, via Thrill Jockey...

The album is inspired by, and named in reference to, Jacques Derrida's philosophical concept hauntology, and particularly Mark Fisher's writing on the subject in his work Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures....Tyler said that, having read the book subsequently, he found Fisher to be "not a very hopeful person in his writing", and that the pair "wanted to re-contextualize something about the concept of lost futures. There's an opening there rather than a closed door."

Undertaker Please Drive Slow by Shane Parish, released on Tzadik in 2016.

"A long time resident of the Appalachian town of Asheville, North Carolina, Shane Parish is the mastermind behind the cutting edge rock band
Ahleuchatistas. Here he steps out with a remarkable and soulful acoustic solo project that digs deep into Appalachian roots. Taking classic old timey folk songs, Shane has abstracted them in utterly fascinating ways evoking the haunting and brooding world of the American South. At times reminiscent of John Fahey and Robbie Basho, at times of John Cage and Morton Feldman, Shane uses these beautiful songs as launching pads for his creative flights of fancy, at times boiling them down to their very essence. A spiritual project that will keep you riveted from first note to last." — John Zorn

Parallelogram by Six Organs Of Admittance / William Tyler, released on Three Lobed Recordings in 2015.

Mutual influence is always fun to see in action, especially when it is between modern long-form guitar composition greats Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) and William Tyler. This volume of Three Lobed Recording’s Parallelogram series allows both artists room to stretch out and breathe. Multi-movement suites have long been a skillful part of the Six Organs of Admittance lexicon. Chasny’s contribution, “Lsha,” expands upon this artistic legacy as it commandingly pulses and moves through its three propulsive phases...

Blue Ash Montgomery by William Tyler, released on Lightning Records in 2014.

"Here's a beautifully crafted bit of fairly traditional folk guitar work, comfortably in the vein of American Primitive giants like Basho or Taussig, that manages to bring something new and inspired to the table. I only recently discovered Tyler's solo work (formerly of Silver Jews) while going through a guitar binge and this album immediately jumped out at me. The wildly ecstatic closer w/ Tim Barnes is worth the listen alone, so please dig in and hopefully you enjoy it as much as I have." - DD

Ended Tuesday and started Wednesday after a swim with Elvis Was A Capricorn by William Tyler, released on Tompkins Square in 2012.

Grayson Haver Currin wrote for Pitchfork:

"Maybe 10 minutes seems like a long time to listen to one electric guitar play one piece of music. But even on the shorter songs from his 2010 LP Behold the Spirit, Nashville guitarist William Tyler demonstrated enviable faculties of both dynamics and timing. He patched moments of guitar picking so quiet they seemed to murmur with drones dense enough to rattle the cage, shifting between them with preternatural ease.

...Elvis Was a Capricorn is included as a bonus in the limited-edition box set that reprises all five of Tompkins Square’s Imaginational Anthem compilations."

Un digne héritier de #JohnFahey et du l'#AmericanPrimitiveGuitar, un proche de #GlennJones, avec qui il a d'ailleurs écrit le somptueux album pour 2 guitares "The Things We Used To Do", cet album est celui avec lequel j'ai découvert ce guitariste. Vu en concert à Paris, dans un bel exercice de maitrise de son instrument. A écouter absolument.

John Fahey - Volume 1 / Blind Joe Death (Takoma, 1967 reissue; first released 1959)

3rd version of Fahey's independent debut, rerecorded and converted to stereo. Fahey was a complicated figure but there's no denying his influence on generations of guitar players from Leo Kottke to William Tyler.
