Cian Nugent “Doubles” LP
Cian Nugent, an Irish guitarist versed in the Takoma tradition, drops Doubles on VHF Records. Two sides of steel strings blazing – one in the classic solo style and one with a full-on band rolling along with Cian. To hear that second track, click over to npr.org where it’s being streamed in full by the All Songs Considered blog. Very solid craft on display here, and a lovely record for sure. Pick it up at vhfrecords.com.
