Junior Kimbrough, RL Burnside (RIP), T-Model Ford, Mississippi Fred McDowell, The Rolling Stones, Tom Waits, King Tubby, Lee Perry, The Gits, the BellRays, Fugazi, Wilson Pickett (RIP). A nod to Alan Lomax, for all that he did without ever playing a note.
Plus props to all of you for coming out and supporting us ALL over the country, and across the globe. It inspires .....
I put pair of headsets on and playing in them was Mississippi Fred McDowell....one man, one guitar. The bass the rhythm and the leads were three men in his two hands. It fucked me up good. I have spent every moment since, trying to climb that polyrythmic mountain. Listening to R.L Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, T-Model Ford, Mississippi Fred and too many more to mention.
My drummer and I started this two piece in my small basement bedroom, going for it and we've been going for it ever since. Hunting down our heroes in Mississippi, T-model,Burnsides and Kimbroughs. This has been one hell of a ride and it just keeps goin.
Hear what we're layin down.
It's part ours, parts of others, and parts of no ones. We're here to serve it up, with love and respect to our mentors and friends, and with respect to our drive to give all that we have for the music that we believe in.
"Sounds like it was not only recorded live, but recorded live down a tin can to a tape recorder at the other end of a phone, and sounding great for it!" - Mark Lamarr, BBC Radio 2

David Lockhart's painfully excessive capturing of the booze-swilling and constantly concupiscent Jim Morrison is an encyclopedic homage to the ethos of rock. Boudeeka's haunting accurate portrayal of Janis Joplin is a tribute to women in rock and the raw emotion that was so much a part of the scene. Carlton Poward is an almost frightening replica with his spot-on Jimi Hendrix characterization and inspired guitar playing. Pat Craig Contra Costa Times
