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.
