Ambient Blues

Ambient Blues are blurring the lines between ambient, noise, blues, and distortion with a main ingredient being guitars.

The first piece here is a cue from the film "Two Trains Runnin'". We're getting some storytelling that has to do with the African-American experience, particularly in the sixties. These are acoustic guitars with long tails suddenly backwards, and that creates the otherworldliness feeling of it. There is distortion and feedback- things that would later be heard in guitar work of Jimi Hendrix.
