~ This record which is graced with the above disparaging affection unique to Hunter S. Thompson in the form of a very rare bi-line from the esteemed author famous for his prolific documentation of the "Death of the American Dream"
puts together on one album;
THE ONLY AMERICAN STONE ~Bobby Keys~
THE ONLY AMERICAN BEATLE ~Billy Preston~
and the LEGENDARY AMERICAN STONES PRODUCER Jimmy MIller.
Further accentuating the "SPIRIT" of America is Al Staehely {from Spirit} on Bass.
With help from the Master Mix Wizard himself Chris Kimsey and Tounge in cheek plugs in the film "Fear and Loathing" in which Johnny Depp portrays Hunter S. Thompson poking fun with a claw hammer at the crazy antics of the drummer in this band {Chip Mounger}... whilst smashing coconuts on the hood of the great whale.
Yes this music has been known to scare large, hungry, vicious animals away from fresh food and red meat.
From Kenneth Koch Poetry lovers to Post Punk Lester Bangs fans there is certainly no let down here.
The singer, Becky Bickhams' first two records were with the Delinquents {Live Wire} featuring a foaming Lester Bangs in the line up.
"Sleeping with Women"a fabulously rythmic poem by Kenneth Koch put to music featuring Billy Preston on piano
captivates and distracts.
Bobby Keys WAILS like a mother elephant stampeding a pack of lions stalking her young on no less than three tracks which are sure to curdle the blood, produce surges of adrenaline, goose bumps and symptoms of fight or flight in the most hearty of men. Enjoy. ~ China West
