Under the Influence takes US for an invigorating instrumental swim in the diverse waters of Chris Proctor's musical youth. We surf waves of 60s and 70s folk, the timeless and elegant Baroque constructions of J.S. Bach, driving Irish jigs and haunting slow airs, bluegrass and Appalachian string band tunes, and treatments of guitar pieces from steel string titans Leo Kottke and John Fahey, all of which provide substance to the Instrumental Americana descriptive which critics use so often to try and capture his style.
