Legendary stoner folk by former Jefferson Airplane and Moby Grape member (who dropped some LSD and motorcycyled from California to the Nashville studio in his pyjamas).
‘The most avant- garde blues performer ever recorded. No punk rock band has ever matched the jagged acerbic fury of the riffs Williams played 35 years ago. No rapper has approached his ability to evoke the torment of life in prison or bend language to cast an eerie spell over a chance encounter with a seductive woman’ (New York Times).
‘It’s difficult to approve the banalities of most blues singers after listening to Robert Pete Williams’ (Peter Guralnick, Feel Like Going Home).
The ten tracks of the classic Louisana Blues album recorded in July 1966 in Berkeley under the supervision of John Fahey for his Takoma imprint… plus scarce or previously unreleased studio and live recordings made in France and Italy in 1977-78.
A limited-edition CD.
‘The first new Sun City Girls release since Funeral Mariachi ten years ago, Live at the Sky Church is a performance that melds their signature alien-jazz improv, Asian-tinged psychedelia, and Middle Eastern meditations together with their ranting psychodrama. An audio and visual recording from Seattle in 2004 shows a group that is both aware and committed to its history, while still demonstrating the power of the experimental to drive an enormous cudgel through the heart of those who believe they have all the answers.’
Includes DVD.
