Marisa Anderson's brilliant first 2 solo releases available on CD at a special price in honor of her recent WIRE cover profile
THE GOLDEN HOUR
Portland guitar wizard Marisa Anderson's long awaited solo guitar record. Marisa has been a fixture on many a' music scene for years & years, playing with everyone from the Evolutionary Jass Band to Tara Jane O'Neil to The Dolly Ranchers. In any context, she can't escape her rag/blues/folk roots no matter how hard she tries. This LP featuring only guitar, no vocals, no overdubs, we are treated to a very intimate sounding home recording filled with delicate grace. Comparisons to John Fahey & his ilk are bound to occur, but won't be the last words."

MERCURY
"Portland guitar virtuoso Marisa Anderson is back with a new set of home recorded instrumentals. This time around we find Marisa exploring structures more based on the Appalachian folk tradition. The bluesy cadences of Marisa's other previous release - Golden Hour - are still there but more in an emotional sense than a structural. It's rare to find a record that has just one instrument with no vocals that can achieve real emotional communication - but here 'tis. Marisa thoughtfully composed & recorded this LP over the course of the last two years. It was worth the wait."
