It Doesn't matter how unusual music is, if it's real, sincere and well performed it's magic.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. You can so clearly hear the pain in his voice. It's an absolute masterpiece and so underrated
Blue Crystal Fire is another great one by him. Same with Rocky Mountain Raga
Again Justin, thanks for making us discover new music. I never heard of him before. It's something very special and interesting. His voice makes me think of Antony and the Johnsons. On the other hand the title and the mongolian feel of the music makes me thing of Huun-Huur-Tu, a mongolian traditional band, who recorded a song called… "Orphan's lament". If you never heard Huun-Huur-Tu, you MUST give them a listen because of the superb use of throat singing and overtone singing. And their Orphan's lament is just beautiful. I don't know if there is a connection between them and Robbie Basho, maybe a traditional song arranged ?!
This song changed my life upon hearing it many years ago....I will love it forever.
Music for pilgrims. Haunting strings from another plane combined with a very original vocal sound sung in the style of the Scottish Highlands.
He reminds me of John Jacob Niles, another eccentric folkie who used an older classical vocal style (falsetto in his case) and curiously random rhythm approach. I find Niles too arch and mannered, but this guy sounds more authentic and heartfelt.
Nice.... The tremelo in his voice is quite unique I like it. Thnks.
Big thanks for checking out my recommendation, dude! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I really like your takes on it. One of my favorite things about him is how he combines all of his Eastern and Western influences into something wholly unique, particularly how his eccentric, nearly classical singing style works with his folk influences. The dude was really a genius. And this one of his more accesible songs. His stuff got pretty far out.
i just cried to this song while listening for the frist time, very touching and sincere ;(( <3 thank you for your review!!
I've never heard of him but I really enjoyed that. There are many forgotten but talented musicians such as Karen Dalton, Josephine Foster, Connie Converse and Daniel Johnston, all with strange stories but wonderful talent. I often find them hidden away on TV shows and look up the songs on tunefind which is really helpful. A nice find Justin.
Man I really enjoyed this track. Agree, different from our usual every day norms. I was getting an opera/folk feel and from the piano the sound I was getting was something out of an old western movie. Loved his vocals. I'd like to hear more. Nice reaction and review.
He reminds me of opera singers. There's a certain quality to his voice that reminds me of opera-class tenors. The mood set by the music and his vocals is very haunting. Achingly beautiful. I'm very glad you exposed me to it! I have a new artist now to look into. My late partner was an opera aficionado, and he helped me develop an appreciation for opera and classical. When this started playing, I first thought it was an opera because there seemed to be similar qualities in his voice. If you ever want to hear an incredibly beautiful duet in opera, check out "Placido Domingo @ Andrea Bocelli - Pearl Fishers duet". It's about two simple pearl fishers who are best friends but become rivals when they meet a beautiful goddess and both fall madly in love with her. My partner told me it's one of the most beautiful arias in opera (it's immensely popular with opera fans), and I have to admit I think it is too. It still gives me chills when I hear it.
We must admit we never heard of him before, but what a gem! We looked him up in Wikipedia, and what we found most interesting is that he had wanted to create a raga system for America and that his finger-picking technique was influenced by sarod playing. We certainly heard the resemblance to Indian raga music.
Love love basho. Look into the radio interview he did in 1974. It's powerful
Different, interesting and amazing.
Wow Justin Wow! Wasn't too sure what was going to happen because I researched Robbie before listening and most of his bio is kinda negative! Albums and record labels dropping him and the genre was INTERESTING!! That explains it all too! Just like your opening line: VERY INTERESTING! Right out of the old
Love this track..... but doesn't Basho normally play drone guitar stuff???
Robbie Bashō was incredible. You gotta check out his guitar work
Never heard of him or his music, but really intrigued. Listened to another song on strength of your listen, and very like Anthony Hegarty of Anthony and the Johnsons... would like to think he was an influence. Thanks for that anyway, would never have experienced him, without following your reactions. Incidentally the other song was Blue Crystal Fire!
