Jack Rose – one of our favorite guitar players, passed way yesterday at the age of 38 of a heart attack. If you’ve been a fan of his raga style guitar playing for a while you know how great of a talent was lost, if you wern’t familiar with him but are a fan of the other greats in his ilk, Fahey, Basho, Kottke, et al – then now would be a good time to pick up one of his albums of mesmerizing, vibrant, ambling yet exacting guitar work.
RIP.
