John Bisset’s kids left home.
He threw his guitar in a campervan and recorded himself playing wherever his wanderlust led, an often combative improviser indulging his sometimes suppressed facility for fluid folk melodies. The Spanish and French backdrops of these fecund field recordings inspire flamenco flourishes and café society chords, as Bisset battles bird and bee noise with pizzicato flurries.
Rain hisses. He offers long sonorous notes to the rising sun.
Coming Home’s cautiously euphoric refrain suggests a problem solved.
