SHANE SPEAL - "SHANE SPEAL"
The newest cd from the King of the Cigar Box Guitar. Eight new gloriously lo-fi tracks (and 4 bonus tracks) including Speal's remake of Jimi Hendrix's "I Dont Live Today" performed on cigar box guitar and backed by a fife-and-drum band.
"Speal's music is intentionally strange. The best way to describe it is to take blues and gospel and country and Hawaiian and ragtime and put it through a meat grinder that's missing some teeth." -Mike Argento (from the York Daily Record newspaper, 4/24/09)
