American guitarist and composer associated with Lambchop and Silver Jews, known for instrumental work in the American Primitivism tradition; author of the album Impossible Truth.

Associated acts include Lambchop and Silver Jews. Impossible Truth (second solo album) is completely instrumental and features fingerpicking guitar, lap steel, vibraphone, bass, occasional banjo, drums and sax as noted in the DeBaser review.

DeBaser's review (psychopompe) frames William Tyler's Impossible Truth within the American Primitivism tradition. The album is instrumental, exploring fingerpicking, lap steel and expanded textures. Despite technical and experimental elements, the review highlights its accessibility and rates it highly.

For:Fans of instrumental guitar, American Primitivism, and listeners who follow Lambchop / Silver Jews.

 "American Primitivism", a definition of a musical movement, probably started by that mad genius John Fahey in the '70s, which decontextualized the fingerpicking blues techniques of the '30s, eliminating the voice and disregarding the typical song structure.
