Devendra Banhart posted some new photos of him and the band in the studio recording his as-yet-untitled follow up to his last album Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. Hopefully we’ll have some audio to go along with these photos soon enough. You’ll hear it first here on Naturalismo when there is.

During the mid 1920s, the unexpectedly strong sales of Blind Lemon Jefferson’s Paramount 78’s sent record scouts scrambling to sign male blues artists. One of their best discoveries was Blind Blake, a swinging, sophisticated guitarist whose warm, relaxed voice was a far cry from harsh country blues. Some of Blake’s 78’s cast him as swinging jazzman or jivey hipster, while others walked the long, lonely road to the gallows. The man with the “famous piano-sounding guitar” is still regarded as the unrivaled master of ragtime blues fingerpicking. {via}
