▪ 2002American guitarist (b. Feb. 28, 1939, Takoma Park, Md.—d. Feb. 22, 2001, Salem, Ore.), created extended, serene guitar compositions that fused American folk, country music, and rural blues traditions on noted underground albums of the 1960s; his style, which he called “American primitive guitar,” made him a major influence on 1980s New Age music, an idiom that he disliked.
