Uncle John's Band

Easy breezy with the glinty afterglare of yore. Drifty transition to boot. Nice twilight septet memory making.

Hard hat 92, bluegrass plinky. Alchemical goop-laden improv. bluesy panache.

touching simplicity of row bridges the bullet-train nowness of this ripping bizarre banger. Post-capitalist freako jazz hair metal..

reaaaallly interesting stuff, the date checks out for a genius version. sifts and weaves through mysteriously brooding simmering soundscapes, broad planes of modal tonal happiness and groovemeister intuition, every stroke, hell even the little ones between is right where it's supposed to be. Permission is granted for each explosively satisfying development in dynamic, rhythmic emphasis, harmonic scales or roots. The puddle is tonal and it's a spanish proto wall-of-sound cryer. Returns to tasty mellow jazz with exceptional keith wah-wah work. The music of the earth's core and the cosmos colliding..
