Robbie Basho, born on August 31, 1940 and passed away on February 28, 1986, was a highly influential American guitarist and singer-songwriter. He is best known for his unique style of fingerpicking guitar and his profound influence on the American folk music scene.
Basho's music is often described as a blend of folk, blues, and world music influences. His intricate guitar playing combined with his soulful vocals created a mesmerizing sound that captivated audiences worldwide. His compositions showcased a deep understanding of various musical traditions and demonstrated his ability to push the boundaries of what could be achieved with an acoustic guitar.
Considered one of the pioneers of American primitive guitar, Basho's work has inspired countless musicians in the genre. Artists such as *Jack Rose*, *John Fahey*, and *Sandy Bull* have all cited him as a major influence on their own musical journeys. With a discography spanning over two decades, Basho left behind a rich legacy that continues to resonate with listeners today.

Robbie Basho's innovative pieces for the steel-string acoustic guitar incorporated American, European, and Eastern influences, while his unique voice appeared to emanate from another world. Along with John Fahey and Leo Kottke, Basho was a part of the triumvirate of guitarists on the legendary Takoma Records, and one of the foremost proponents of elevating the steel-string acoustic guitar to the level of a concert instrument. In his brief and troubled life he laid the foundations for radical changes to the musical landscape of America during the 1960s and '70s but reaped little more than a sparse (if fervent) following during his lifetime. Almost 40 years since its original issue on cassette, Basho's 13th album Bouquet is now available for the first time on vinyl. Affording us a greater insight into his remarkable vision, this long-awaited release is a critical piece of the puzzle that was Robbie Basho. Remastered from the original master recording (discovered during the production of Voice of the Eagle: The Enigma of Robbie Basho), it has never sounded better. The four-page insert includes rare photos and images from Basho's illustrated songbook, as well as texts from Glenn Jones, Henry Kaiser and others. Bonus tracks (available via a free download link) include an epic 13-minute solo version of "Land of Our Fathers".
