My kind of trailer trash
A package from Dave Shaffer showed up in my mailbox recently. Normally, that would terrify me. But I took all the proper precautions and opened it in a well-ventilated area with a first-aid kit nearby.
What popped out is his latest, and to my knowledge only, CD.
The band is Abandoned Trailer. The CD is Under the Giant. It's freakin' awesome. He and Fred Reading collaborated on it. Don't know much about what they're up to here or if they're selling copies of it. If they are, I'll try to track down a place where you can buy it. If they aren't, I'll burn you a copy (with their permission). Just send me a note. The coolest thing about it is I really can't say what "it's like." The sound is distinct. The harmonies soar. I particularly liked "The Bellwood Reel/Lilac Wednesday." But I hate to play favorites.
