Gary Husband’s latest album, Dirty & Beautiful Volume 2 , is the follow-up to the well-received Volume 1. The music manages to be both evocative and forward-looking. This is no easy trick. All-star albums can present problems. The music can be difficult to take on tour since each song was tailored for a specific musician or band. It can also be daunting to present any sort of thematic vision for the same reason.

The saga of The Exploding Eyes Orchestra began with part I in 2015 and closes with the second part, due out on October 5th 2018.
What begun as a sidetrack or a therapy group from Jess and the Ancient Ones while the band were going through a turbulent, inactive period, has since then morphed back into the mothership. The Exploding Eyes Orchestra were guitarist Thomas Corpse’s vessel for his creative endeavours while the main band laid dormant. TEEO represented a more earthy approach to psychedelic rock music, towards which JATAO then steered as well, and eventually found themselves with the exact same lineup…

Guitar maestro Josh Smith has always been inventive in his work, but he goes the extra mile on this one by delivering the feel of one of his live performances even though this CD was recorded within the confines of his new Flat V Studios…

Jerry Williams Jr. reinvented himself in the late ‘60s as Swamp Dogg, releasing the landmark 1970 album Total Destruction to Your Mind; it introduced the world to a smart, funny artist who wrote poignant, profound songs about the world around him. The man himself considers this set to be that landmark album’s spiritual equal. Whether he’s singing about nuances of race and racism in the title track or on “Prejudice Is Alive and Well,” asking what happened to a soul music superstar on “Where Is Sly,” or working through Sam Cooke’s “You Send Me” and a few other covers, this is pure timeless Swamp Dogg–styled R&B, soul, and funk.
