Kinloch—pronounced Kinlaw—is one of the people who opened up what the acoustic guitar could do in the late Sixties. His cohort includes John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Ralph Towner, and Leo Kottke. The Nelson approach is less indebted to country and blues, or the avant garde, than anything Fahey and Basho did—he’s a deeply serene and gentle player, though not in the same way as the Windham Hill fellas. If corduroy and soap on a rope has a sound, it is Nelson.
