HAMPTON GREASE BAND

Music To Eat

(Shotput) Used 2xCD $35.00

Reissue of the group’s only album, drawing upon jazz, progressive and psychedelic guitar rock, and a generally surrealist bent to back Col Bruce Hampton’s savant ravings. Comparisons with Zappa and Beefheart might seem inevitable, but their more guitar-oriented sound skirts even closer to the lunatic fringe. Includes lengthy history by guitarist Glenn Phillips, crammed with believe-it-or-not anecdotes from the group’s fascinating career.
