Album Notes & Community Reviews

The former Harry Pussy guitarist delivers a staggering solo album played entirely on a heavily amplified, custom four-string electric guitar. The largely improvisational record completely reshapes American blues and folk traditions, balancing his signature aggressive, jagged playing style with moments of profound, lyrical beauty. It stands as a masterful, emotional reinvention of modern American Primitivism.
