There’s Something For Everyone In America is an LP by Duck Baker from 1976 released on the Kicking Mule Records label.
About this album
There’s Something For Everyone In America shows Duck Baker as a remarkably fluent acoustic guitarist, moving easily between folk, blues and early jazz. Released in 1975, the album draws on ragtime, country blues and old-time repertoire while keeping Baker’s touch light, melodic and technically assured. His arrangements give familiar American tunes fresh shape, whether he is reviving fiddle tunes, standards or stride-era pieces. The record helped establish Baker’s reputation as one of the more inventive fingerstyle players of the period, with playing that is both scholarly and warmly musical, never losing sight of the song behind the virtuosity.
