A New Way To Pay Old Debts

Expanded edition of this 2009 album from the San Francisco-based Blues guitarist including six bonus tracks. At the heart of Orcutt's sound is a vintage acoustic Kay guitar equipped with a DeArmond pickup. After the neck was broken and subsequently repaired, the guitar was downtuned so as to withstand the tension of the strings, and played with the a and D strings removed. This all lends itself to an intense set of raw, Blues-influenced songs that sound heavier than most of the guitar records in your collection put together!!
