You know when you take Wu Tang mastermind The RZA and give him free reign of the vault at Stax Records the outcome is going to be some great Wu-Tang inspired soul music.

That is a great collection, I'm glad I picked up a copy.

Bachman's music is all acoustic guitar instrumental. He labels his recordings "psychedelic Appalachia" which is a pretty good description of his haunting backwoods songs. "The Bridge of Flowers", "Perigree Moon" and "7 West 45th St." are my favorites along with the 11 min. plus "Sita Ram (Who Is God)" which could be featured in some dusky, atmospheric zombie flick. Maybe the highlight is the rousing medley of "Rove Ryley Rove/Wild Bill Jones/Darling Cory" which makes it difficult not dancing to. I don't know if I'd lump this in with Gothic Americana, maybe it's on a side step to the Twilight Zone.
