Background[edit]
Glenn-Copeland used many alternate tunings on both six and twelve-string acoustic guitars while writing the material that would appear on Beverly Glenn-Copeland; later, he stated that he "played [the guitar] as though it was a drum" and was inspired by techniques used by Odetta.[1] He further reflected on the creation of the album in a 2020 interview, saying he was "awestruck" when he found that he could play a song to the backing band once and they would be ready to record their own arrangement live on the floor in a matter of minutes.[2]
