Inventions

Inventions (1965) by Sandy Bull blends folk fingerstyle guitar with blues, classical and experimental textures, using both acoustic and electric instruments and drawing on non-Western melodic ideas. The album features extended instrumental pieces and improvisatory passages that juxtapose banjo, guitar and bass with percussive and modal elements, illustrating Bull's eclectic approach that helped broaden the boundaries of American folk and experimental music in the mid 1960s.
