Cam Deas, “As Spring Fell from the Leaves,” My Guitar is Alive and It’s Singing (Blackest Rainbow, 2009)
The always reliable and well-written Mapsadaisical is hosting this superb piece from Sheffield-based guitarist Cam Deas, a John Fahey disciple who takes the twelve string to gorgeous places. At the same time Deas creates a sea of ringing open string reverberance, he weaves a tense sense of imminence here. That seems to derive from his Derek Bailey influence—clipped staccato phrases entwined with his arpeggiated passages of meditative bliss.
