HANGMAN'S HILL

CD

Peter Blegvad with John Greaves
& Chris Cutler

 

Peter Blegvad, guitar, vox, clarinet
John Greaves, bass, keyboards Chris Cutler, drums
& a buncha' other folk

 

You'd havta' be SMOKIN' th' mirrors to make the music on this CD be considered as improv. Electric folk-rock, without doubt. For those who were enchanted by Dylan's first round with electric guitars, this will bring back distinctly fond memories. There are some riffs where (if you REALLY stretched yer' imagination) ya' might consider there was an element of jazz to it, but improvised it's not. That dinna' render it unlistenable for me, though... some great lyrics, creative arrangements, even a hint of the psychedelic... & a nice rawkin' beat most all th' way through. If ya' need some great road music, GET this - but if your bent is for "bent", move on down th' line. Rotcod Zzaj
