***Since 2005, Tompkins Square label’s Imaginational Anthem compilations have featured some of the greatest acoustic guitarists in the world, with recordings spanning five decades. More than mere samplers, these albums have served as state-of-the-art dispatches from the front lines of the art form. Volume five was compiled by guitarist SAM MOSS and features a gorgeous panoramic view of contemporary guitar, full of agile finger-style, and a few jagged detours. With tracks from STEVE GUNN, JORDAN FULLER, DANNY PAUL GRODY, NICK SCHILLACE, WILL STRATTON, BILL ORCUTT, DANIEL BACHMAN, ERIC CARBONARA, TOM LECKY, ALEXANDER TURNQUIST, CAM DEAS, and YAIR YONA.
