Robbie Basho was one of the big three American acoustic guitar innovators, John Fahey and Leo Kottke being the other two. Basho was the least commercially successful of the three, but his influence and reputation has steadily grown since his untimely death in 1986 at the age of 45. Flash forward to 2009: Vanguard contacted guitarist (and long-time Basho champion) Glenn Jones with the intriguing news that an unreleased Robbie Basho album session had recently been found, on a tape that, alas, lacked any real documentation. It was only 12 years later, when Jones, in the process of researching the liner notes for this release, discovered the truth: that not just the mysterious tape but both Voice of the Eagle and Zarthus were the result of one marathon session in 1971 or 1972 recorded in New York City by Vanguard staff engineer Jeffrey Zaraya. Songs of the Great Mystery - The Lost Vanguard Sessions, then, takes it's place as the third of the triumvirat of albums Basho recorded for the label, and it is their equal in every way, exploring, in particular, some of the same Native American themes found on Voice of the Eagle. Some of the tunes showed up on later albums in much different forms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Day in the Life of Lemuria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Butterfly of Wonder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaughing Thunder, Crawling Thunder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunder Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKateri Tekakwitha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunder Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSong of the Great Mystery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath Song 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Day in the Life of Lemuria (Alternate Take)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50556720087336,"sku":"84806400977","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3799164-2560538.jpg?v=1763981863","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/basho-robbie-songs-of-the-great-m-cd-4806400977","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
