9 trks,51 mins.Sir Richard Bishop(1/3 of the Sun City Girls)
recorded this album of acoustic ephemera during his European
tour last Summer, dazzling improvised wooden guitar action.
On Fingering The Devil, Bishop rides a very tall horse through
a surrealist's cowboy set that's one part bruit Peckinpah
muscularity and two parts illuminated Jodorowskian symbolism.
A very strange place, indeed. Armed only with a single steel
string wooden guitar, bare-knuckled Bishop fends off the
horrors and dangers of the night with ease as he spits out
glorious white robed arabesques, Django-inspired gypsy arcs,
and latin terracotta flourishes like so many spinning
tumbleweeds in a one horse town that is his alone.
