Album Notes & Community Reviews
Captured during the artist's controversial transition to electric instrumentation, these recordings showcase a biting, surrealist lyrical approach. The driving, blues-inflected rock arrangements perfectly complement the cynical, accusatory tone, marking a definitive break from the acoustic folk purism of his earlier career.
