  • '"Moving Up A'Ways" was inspired by the Dream-Myth "Sing" of the Navahos, depicting the spiritual and physical evolution from lower to higher forms of life. With this in mind, I wrote this contemporary song.' (Robbie Basho's sleeve notes).
    From his 1981 album, "Rainbow Thunder" requested by dpg25, check out the harmonics at the start!

    I studied and performed with Robbie back in the late 1960's and early 1970's. It is great to see a resurgence of interest in his music. I have been hoping for 40 years that more guitarists would take advantage of the freedom offered by his style of playing. I recently recorded for the first time myself, one cut on "Beyond Berkeley Guitar" on the Tompkins Square label; the only cut with an obvious connection to Basho's style: "A dream of distant summer"

    I am Japanese and I translate it on Google
    Robbie Basho is a great singer
    I have a record Moving up I'm nervous.
    However, it is totally unknown in Japan. John Jacob Niles is also great. But it is still unknown in Japan. It is a great singer, so I want you to become famous in Japan.
    Thank you for the great video

      He brought so many musical and cultural forms to our attention. He also took the name Basho out of respect to Matsuo Basho.

    What a transportive song! I normally listen to synth-based music but I come from a guitar background and I feel like Robbie Basho returned to me something I molted long ago. The guitar would be enough, but his voice is also incredible!

      I would think it would be more legitimately disrespectful if it was intentional. Some people have trouble with spelling or god bless them, just make mistakes. Try not to spring to extreme accusations, especially while Basho is playing
