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.
