Coming into prominence in the early 1990s, Charlie Hunter is both incredibly swift with technique and open to the spontaneity of improvisation. Piecing together songs with his custom-made seven- and eight-string guitars, bass and drums, his songs are calculated and full of genuine expertise.
Hunter's recent work was inspired by his love for early blues and jazz. Public Domain contains a series of jazzed-up old-time songs that have outlived copyright and entered the public domain. Using just a few mics and amps, the album was recorded in a few hours and has a very intimate, fresh sound that plays with elements of blues, funk and jazz.
