"In the backyard of a Pittsburgh tenement in 1948, six characters gather to mourn the missing seventh: Floyd 'Schoolboy' Barton, a blues guitarist with feet of clay who died with fame and celebrity just beyond his reach," press notes state. "Stitched with vibrant swatches of American blues lyrics and harmonized through a seven-piece ensemble, Wilson's signature voice is at its richest in Seven Guitars as it seeks to explore the disappointingly dissonant harmonies we sometimes find in the circular nature of hope, violence, fate, and justice."
