Fantastic tribute to eccentric outsider extraordinaire musician based out of Colorado. Fyodor (fee-ay-dor) has also been a DJ on Boulder / Denver’s KGNU since 1982 with his show Under The Floorboards. Bizarre stuff here for sure, though mostly accessible. Varied styles, great lyrics. Highly recommended. FCC’s #6, 11, 19, 20.
*My Favorites*: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 (FCC), 12, 13, 14, 17.
