We decided not to opt into the CD Baby donations pool as our sales arent significant enough to make an immediate impact. Instead we are donating twice the amount of our entire CD Baby invertory (about $380) as well as aborting a planned trip to Charlotte to see our friends Antiseen and Hank III play on the 7th and donating what would have been gas money from that trip as well(about $125--today). All donations will be made directly to the Red Cross. In addition, from each CD Baby sale we will donate another $5 to disaster relief. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been affected by this great tragedy--Rick Noll **********************************************************************************************************************
BALTIMORE'S MOST NOTORIOUS GUITAR SLINGER RETURNS WITH A VENGEANCE AND A NEW CD!
The buzz around Baltimore's George Brigman first began in the mid-70s when an 18 year old George recorded and later released his first LP, the now infamous Jungle Rot, a wicked mesh of wah-wah, distortion and mutant blues. That LP quickly gained cult status as it was quite unlike anything else out then. By 1982 David Fricke writing in Musician called Jungle Rott "the collector's holy grail" and referred to George's guitar playing a "heady revelation". Brigman's reputation solidifed even more with the 1982 cassette I Can Hear the Ants Dancin' which due to popular demand was reissued on vinyl by Or records in 1995. The European release of Brigman's Human Scrawl Vagabond LP drew even more international attention and rave reviews when issued in 1986 by Resonance Records. Along the way George had the 7" EP Silent Bones on Bona Fide Records as well as a cut on Bona Fide's psychedelic comp Train to Disaster. Now 30 years after his career started, Brigman returns with a fully annotated and greatly expanded CD version of I Can Hear the Ants Dancin'. This CD out now, was followed in July by the much anticipated first ever official CD
