American Primitive Guitar: What is it?
To answer your question, Kent (and others who I suspect will ask the same question in the future) American Primitive Guitar is usually connected with the names John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Peter Lang, and Leo Kottke-in other words the guitarists connected with the legendary Tacoma label. The best example of the genre would be the late John Fahey's album, America, which was recorded in 1971. However, the genre has not died out even though two of the most famous players have-Robbie Basho and John Fahey. Peter Lang and Leo Kottke still play and operate out of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area while I am happy to report that there are many younger players who play in this style. My current favorite is the German guitarist, Steffen Basho-Yunghans. I highly recommend two of his CDs-"Rivers and Bridges" and "Late Summer Morning". If you have not listened to any of these fine guitarists, give them a listen sometime.
