This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Entrance is Guy Blakeslee, a white singer-guitarist from Baltimore who supposedly taught himself to play left-handed on a right-handed guitar turned upside-down.
Along the way, he also seems to have absorbed a whole slew of blues tunes and licks by Delta icons like Robert Johnson, Skip James, Tampa Red, Tommy Johnson and Charley Patton. And on his mesmerizing sophomore album Wandering Stranger, he swirls them together with post-psychedelic noise and effects, updating and reshaping ancient wonders into spectral, epic dirges that vaguely recall acoustic Led Zeppelin without all the hobbit crap and Middle Eastern hokum. In a word, entrancing.
