Glenn Jones' debut This is the Wind That Blows It Out was originally released in 2004 on CD only by Strange Attractors Audio House. We are proud to give this classic a first time vinyl issue.

"Fahey's Car" bounces and shimmers like some of Peter Lang's classic Takoma sides, and "Linden Avenue Stomp" is an alternate take of a old-timey duet with Jack Rose, originally found on his Opium Musick LP. Perhaps most profoundly, Jones is able to coax strong melodies and hooks from the oft-complex, stylistically amorphous compositions - a couple of spins of Thi.......
