Gwenifer Raymond
I just learned of this American Primitive Guitarist from Wales whose debut album "You Never Were Much of a Dancer" has just been released. If you like John Fahey, you will love her playing. You can sample her music on Youtube and at her website gweniferraymond.com.

Ok, now the Nerdy question - what is that guitar?

Having listened to/watched this several times, I've been listening to the whole album. There is something compelling about it, and yet I find I have to take it in small doses. After a few tracks it's too tiring to continue. One reason for this is the prevalence of fret buzz. Now I think she's using the fret buzz as a kind of percussive effect (rather than it being accidental), but it gets pretty hard to take after a bit.
So I'm still astonished, but I'm a bit worried about the fillings dropping out of my teeth.

I think it’s a great album. It’s also great to see a Welsh guitarist.

Those who, like me, gradually became haunted by Gwenifer Raymond's extraordinary album, may like to know that she has a new and equally extraordinary piece of acoustic guitar music available to listen to and download here:
