New Danny Barnes record: Ambient Works Vol. 1

Things just keep getting better for me as a Danny Barnes fan. This new release continues on in the direction of Shri 108, but with an ambient bent. It has plenty of awesome banjo. 

Danny Barnes is the top philosopher in banjo music today. If you read his written pieces, he is just spot on about everything. He has in this ambient work created a sonic expression of his positive understanding of the world. 

This is a lot to ask of a musical piece, but he has done it here. Now granted, I have been doing my homework. Following up on his references, I have been reading Buddhist and other spiritual and philosophical material, Maher Baba, Thich Nhat Hanh, the Dalai Lama. This sort of thinking flows along well with ambient banjo music. 

I hope the implication in calling this work Vol.1 is realized in many more volumes to come. This recording creates peaceful space for my mind to wander around in. Just what I needed.
