Don't Blame Me is a CD by
Marc Ribot consisting mostly of solo
guitar arrangements of
jazz standards. While there are a couple of
noisy bits (most notably the two pieces "Noise #1" and "Noise #2"), the renditions are ultra-calm, almost sleepy. My favoirite tune on the disc is a great version of
Albert Ayler's "
Ghosts."
