There’s something truly beautiful about the music that Jorma Kaukonen is making. His fingerpicking style on tracks like “Embryonic Journey” suggests a seasoned artist who isn’t afraid of their talent. It’s folksy, sure, but it’s also eclectic, occasionally flirting with bright, Hawaiian-inspired tonalities. Every note, every pull of the string is meticulously honest, and the production preserves the tactile beauty of his craft. He seems unconcerned with trends or expectations, creating music for no one but himself—and somehow, that makes it universally compelling. It’s profound and unhurried and feels like a necessary balm for our noisy, modern era.
