Hefty Horse presents:

C. Joynes: Anglo-Naive and Contemporary Parlour Guitar.



(Deadslackstring, Leith Hill, Bo' Weavil)

From Bo' Weavil:
"English acoustic guitarist C Joynes, a resident of Cambridge, has released a few self produced excellent CDRs, but here sees his first Bo' Weavil release. Joynes uses a heavy thumb-led finger-picking technique that harks back to traditional country-blues and early ragtime, however, he uses this technique to explore alternative melodic traditions: the English folk-tune; North and West African music; elements of classical Indian music; proto-minimalist and impressionist musics from the European classical tradition. His approach to the recording and compositional process contains a subtle and unassuming experimentation, at times including collaged fragments, field recordings, processing, en-plein-air recordings, and cut-and-paste. The version of ‘Since I Lay My Burden Down’ incorporates variations on lyrics and vocal lines drawn from a different song entirely. He has a penchant for reworking over-familiar pieces and stripping them of their kitsch and cliché, presenting them afresh, such as with ‘Christmas Medley’, the arrangement of ‘A Night In Tunisia’, and the gospel-based ‘And When The Sun Begins To Shine’. Joynes’ music is instinctive, well-researched, placid, and evokes a certain simplicity and naiveté."- Rhodri Davies

Sunday Times Review:
"C Joynes is an English acoustic guitarist from Cambridge, but sounds as if he was shaped by the same influences as the new school of American primitivism that Jack Rose represents. Joynes’s own sleeve notes acknowledge the debt of his Christmas Medley to John Fahey’s festive novelty albums, but he’s more than just an imitator. Pirandos Tolos’s unique tone was supplied by a broken round-backed mandolin.

The East African-flavoured Night on Djerba suggests the jazz standard A Night in Tunisia left out overnight in the desert and slowly circled by vultures"-Stewart Lee
