Blake Hornsby

Blake Hornsby’s “Brugmansia” leans heavily into British acid folk, styling its creator as a pointedly anachronistic lysergic troubadour. Songs stretch out as if baking in the sun, existing somewhere between traditional song, avant-garde composition and ancient rite. A strange and beguiling songwriter’s album, “Brugmansia” is a living record defined by real musical ingenuity.

Taken from last year’s excellent ‘A Village of Many Springs’, North Carolina acoustic guitarist Blake Hornsby shares a music video for his epic ‘Bury My Soul in the Linville River’.

For all of the enjoyable free expression present across Blake Hornsby’s ‘A Village of Many Springs’, there is also a real sense of musicianship and creativity; it’s an exhilarating listen. Pull up a chair and allow it to wash over you.
