Lonnie Holley – national freedom lp

Heerlijk schroeiend stukje muziek van Lonnie Holley, uit Atlanta, Georgia, samen met de dit jaar overleden producer Richard Swift, op Jagjaguwar.‘This collaboration between artist Lonnie Holley and the late visionary producer Richard Swift is a tribute to urgent, raw, American art — from Howlin’ Wolf to Captain Beefheart, from Cecil Taylor to Bo Diddley. The songs pulse with anger, hope, energy and a bit of swagger. You can hear sweat and tears through the speaker. Swift left us two years ago today, but his spirit buzzes through these songs. The cosmic connection between Holley and Swift was immediate. They put down five songs in their day together: all conjured in the studio and one-of-a-kind.’ Officieel een mini lp maar hij duurt twee keer zo lang als de gemiddelde garage/punk plaat. Luister de plaat op bandcamp.
