Mariano Rodriguez is a far-southern representative of the Takoma school of acoustic-guitar playing. Based in Bariloche, Argentina, he’s been recording original tunes rooted in the same country-blues loam as John Fahey since sometime in the aughts. Alternating between a six-string acoustic and Weissenborn lap-steel instruments, Rodriguez displays an easy command of their emotive and evocative potentialities. His playing is replete with swooping slides, woozy dissonances and fingerpicked melodies that might wander a ways, but they always end up right where they’re supposed to go.
