Album Notes & Community Reviews
Expanding upon the heavily syncopated, African-derived rhythm that became his unmistakable trademark, the guitarist's second album aggressively pushes the boundaries of early rock and roll. Featuring his iconic rectangular guitar and maraca-heavy accompaniment, the tracks exhibit a startlingly raw, distorted, and wildly experimental sonic texture for the era. The relentless, hypnotic grooves cemented his status as one of the genre's most singular and profoundly influential architects.
