William Tyler: Modern Country. by Ken Abrams 26 September, 2016. Earlier this summer Nashville guitarist William Tyler released a captivating new album, the all-instrumental Modern Country. The release is a set of hauntingly beautiful songs that seem to have an organic connection to the vanishing American West.

Three years ago, the fingerpicking guitar virtuoso William Tyler released Impossible Truth, a ridiculously beautiful album of bucolic folk instrumentals. Tyler has just announced its follow-up; it’s called Modern Country, and it’s coming in a few months. This time around, Tyler worked with a few musicians like Phil Cook and Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, and he recorded at Justin Vernon’s April Base studio in Wisconsin. The album promises more melody and less wandering, but it’ll still be instrumental.

Guitarist and composer William Tyler has announced the follow-up to 2014's Lost Colony. Modern Country is out June 3 via Merge. The album was tracked at Justin Vernon's April Base Studios in Eau Claire, Wisc. with Glenn Kotche (Wilco), Phil Cook (Hiss Golden Messenger), and Darin Gray (Tweedy, Jim O'Rourke). Modern Country is a love letter to what we’re losing in America, to what we’ve already lost," said Tyler in a statement. We stand at the precipice of the twilight of empire, the decline of so many national institutions and the vanishing of certainties.

William Tyler – Modern Country (Merge Records, 2016). William Tyler, along with a notable cast of characters, including Wilco’s Glenn Kotche and Phil Cook of Megafaun, has managed the ultimate and unexpected feat of picking up right where John Fahey left off, laying down a stunning collection of instrumentally based atmospheric songs that fuse a range of moods that seldom rise above a heartbeat

This has to be one of the most immediate instrumental albums I have ever heard. There are references to 70's folk and country music (I see you Windham Hill Records!), but it sounds rather timeless. This is the album I play if I am in the car and I need to feel like I'm in a 'Thelma and Louise' montage.
