Here’s Les Claypool’s latest incarnation: he and M.I.R.V. guitarist Bryan Kehoe playing stripped down, zany wacky bizarre treatments of Primus stuff and a handful of kickass covers, all with a bass, a guitar, and a stompboard w/ tambourine. It doesn’t stray far from the Primus we all know, but the sound’s obviously a bit different. Some funkiness, a bit of psychedelia trance, some odd country flair, with fantastic jammy phrases. This stuff KILLS!!!! FCC’s #2, #12.
*My Favorites*: Every dang one.
1. (0:42) Mid. A little ditty w/ hillbilly scatting.
2. (4:47) Mid. FCC ‘shit’. Great instrum break.
3. (3:35) Mid. Jerry Reed song. Fun lyric, funky.
4. (3:03) Mid. Hypnotic trance w/ classic Les lyrics.
5. (3:29) Mid. Stompin’ Tom Connors song. Great w/ Les doing Connors voice.
6. (5:00) Mid / Fast. Psychedelic trance stompin’, great instrum phrase.
7. (4:46) Mid. Bee Gees’ Stayin’ Alive!!! Drivin’ and completely insanely great.
8. (4:06) Mid. Spoken intro. Fisherman lyrics w/
9. (2:19) Mid. Chantays’ Pipeline. INSTRUMENTAL. Surf tune w/ ‘la-la-la’s...’
10. (4:04) Mid. Dementedly beautiful funky mind-bender.
11. (2:52) Mid. Surfy funk w/ great ending.
12. (5:13) Mid. Alice In Chains song. FCC’s ‘shit’. Really different take. Nice.
13. (4:25) Mid. Countrified-dementus. Steps along w/ some back vcls.
