Alice in Chains Archives – Just Listen To This

Kenny’s problem is self-made – how on earth does he top his last studio album Lay It On Down? That had such great songs, arrangements, playing and singing it was the best release in that genre of that year.

Eric Gales – The Bookends

by Pete Sargeant | Feb 6, 2019

A release from the loose cannon Eric Gales always turns out to be intriguing. I reckon this is because he will listen to Holst, Howlin’ Wolf, Herbie Hancock..to Blues, bluegrass, Brahms and Billie Holiday – and that could be one of my record shelves.

The first part of this (shared) release is performed by Karma To Burn..I think, there is I believe a 28 Page Booklet that I don’t have. The acts may be one and the same for all I know. The other one is Sons Of Alpha Centauri.
