Emory, Marc

Listening Music/anfang

A delightful mid-'70s US underground folk LP gets reissued on vinyl! The record is split between folk instrumentals that certainly have a familiarity with the Takoma family, and a few vocal tracks that add a loner charm to the record. The slide blues of 'All Gaul' has a dose of Fahey in its DNA, but Emory gave the familiar feel his own kind of overcast glee. Elsewhere, 'Listening Music/Anfang' finds itself slipping through more trad folk territory, the second side practically opening in a communal pub dance feeling. There's a bluegrass spirit bubbling under the record, with shades of Anglican folk and country blues trading off when it subsides.
