One of my absolute favourite Basho L.P.'s. The style is generally American primitive with multi ethnic influences. A couple of piano tracks and the occasional emotive yodel.
Here's Basho himself from the liner notes :
“Visions of the Country is simply an L.P. of Guitar Paintings of the Americas and other joys. It uses the folk ballad style of some and the flowing Raga style of Hindu music to express the feeling and texture of the American Wilderness…Panoramique.”
Inexplicably still not reissued, Robbie Basho's first of two Windham Hill releases is a fine example of the need to reappraise his later period.

I have the great honor of reissuing "visions of the country" on my record label, Gnome Life Records. LP+mp3, August 20th, 2013. Please spread the word.
You heard the man! Re-issue! I for one will jump at the chance of any official Basho re-release. Good work Fletcher Tucker and thank you.
The link doesn't seem to be functioning. Can this be re-upped on something besides .anon? Thanks
New link would be such a treat! Thank you. X

Ta. X
Is there a new link for this? Would love to get this!
Hello! Do you have a new link for this one? I prefer the vinyl rip far an away more to the digital re-issue, but can't find it anymore. Thanks for keeping Robbie Basho's work alive.
