Ray Harlowe & Gyp Fox: First Rays


You’ll probably read a fair number of reviews where a record is described as sounding “wasted”, but this one really truly does fit the bill. I’ve actually heard this referred to as a “blues rock” or “guitar rock” record which I don’t really get. I mean, it’s far too sloppy and demented to pin down with such conventional language (and I mean that in the most positive way). It sounds to me like these guys took up permanent residence on the bandstand at some seedy bar removed from all normal goings-on and honed their craft during one of the longest benders known to man. I can dig it.
