Les Cousins Music and Duck Baker are pleased to announce the pre-release of a new recording by legendary American fingerstyle guitarist Duck Baker; whose recording career spans over three decades, including 22 solo records and appearances on another 35.
Dates for a new concert tour entitled "The Roots and Branches of American Music" will be announced shortly.
A special pre-order edition of "The Roots and Branches of American Music" has been made available through Duck's new record label home:

Duck Baker has been cited consistently as one of the most accomplished, original, and influential guitar voices of his generation, equally at home playing solo or with other musicians in an amazing variety of musical idioms. Indeed, much of his repertoire has been learned playing in bands of different kinds.
On "The Roots and Branches of American Music Baker" presents a solo program that includes everything from Irish dance tunes to modern jazz. There are ragtime tunes, old-timey fiddle tunes, and blues, gospel and swing, including three of Duck's trademark vocals. This will be the most comprehensive Duck Baker record to date, and we feel that he sets a new standard with the performances here.
