RAINER LIVES!.......2001-11-23

That thought was nixed right away.

At that time, Rainer was using a digital delay to capture a sonic base of chord progressions (2 or 4 bars) to build off with a second guitar. I've never heard anything quite like it, before or since.

Unlike earlier albums, WORRIED SPIRITS is a true solo effort. It's sparse in terms of instrumentation, yet dense in terms of feel. Ptacek has a playing attack that gracefully lurches between picking and slide. If that sounds awkward to you, it's only my choice of words.

For so many years, Rainer was more celebrated internationally than at home. I remember reading about several European tours he did with Das Combo, without even a record contract in the USA; I also remember my dad relaying memories of seeing him numerous times at Tucson coffee shops....

I probably am guilty of praising him more effusively now than I did while he was alive. I'm not the first, and I won't be the last. All the same: if you have enough interest to have read this far, I can assure you that you won't be disappointed you picked this one up. A ganga at any price.
