River of Heaven - James Blackshaw

James Blackshaw has a remarkable new album (his sixth, he's 25) of 12-string guitar instrumentals. But nothing on it shimmers as sustained or rings so clear and resounding as this earlier compilation track. Spellbinding and -bound.

From The Tompkins Square Sampler (eMusic).
The new album is The Cloud of Unknowing (Amazon, eMusic).
