California-based guitarist Joe Mersch has released the 17 song CD The Forbidden Anthems, featuring arty, acoustic folk with an ear toward fingerstyle guitar and jazz harmonies. Including three guitar instrumentals ("Truck Stop", "On 78 East" and "Further Up"), The Forbidden Anthems showcases beautiful guitar work, engaging lyrics, and songs which feel familar yet still go to unexpected places. The poetic vision is totally complete and utterly crystalline (the enclosed lyric sheet is essential), and the ideas are of a depth seldom found in popular music. It becomes obvious after the first listen that this artist is something special. Acoustic/Rock/Folk, total running time, 63:42
