Review

By trade, Sir Richard Bishop is a dealer of rare occult books and fine paper ephemera. However, in the musical cosmos, he has occasion to travel the smoke-filled carnie circuit as 1/3 of the Sun City Girls medicine show. In the twilight hours of a shadow world sensed only by few, Bishop is a dazzling unaccompanied guitarist. On Improvika, he rides a very tall horse through a surrealist's cowboy set that's one part bruit Peckinpah muscularity and two parts illuminated Jodorowskian symbolism…a very strange place, indeed. Armed only with a single steel-string wooden guitar, bare-knuckled Bishop fends off the horrors & dangers of the night with ease as he spits out glorious white robed arabesques, Django-inspired gypsy arcs and Latin terracotta flourishes like so many spinning tumbleweeds in a one horse town that is his alone. Improvika is Bishop's follow-up to his part on Locust's celebrated Wooden Guitar collection, and his second full-length release after his debut on John Fahey's Revenant label.
