Podcast 194: Guitarist Duck Baker

Guitar legend Duck Baker joins us this week to talk about his new compilation, Les Blues du Richmond: Demos & Outtakes, 1973-1979 (out this month on Tompkins Square Records). The album features both the early instrumental demo recordings that landed him on Kicking Mule Records as well as some lesser-heard tracks that he recorded in London in the late '70s. Beyond that, we chat about why so many guitarists in the early '70s were arranging ragtime music, learn about Duck's forays into avant-garde music and jazz, plus a lot more. It's a fun chat with one of the music world's most versatile players.
