This is a strange album. It feels self indulgent, hastily produced and lazy. A lot of caterwauling and carrying on. The KISS sample in the title track was cool to hear though.
For me, the only track I liked was their cover of “Beat On The Brat ''.
It’s really well done and was a welcome change from SY’s traditional sound.
@crumbleneedy Oh god, I'd forgotten about this. I recorded it on cassette the night it was broadcast, and it was a favourite for years, but has long disappeared. Never (officially) released?
@nic this is great - and it meets the criteria so i'll pay it but with the qualification that he did an album of guthrie songs so it was both an homage and a bit of marketing
@nic "28 August 2001: (Peel says that in birthday phone chat with Captain Beefheart he mentioned Cat Power covering 'Come On In My Kitchen' the previous week during her live session at Peel Acres. This prompted the Captain to sing it down the phone to him, which Peel describes as a moving experience.)"
