Credits:
Richard Leo Johnson: Guitars
Gregg Bendian: Percussion
Richard Leo Johnson's style on the acoustic guitar is marked by emotional
depth, complexity and hauntingly unfamiliar harmonies. Percussionist Gregg
Bendian is the leader of The Mahavishnu Project and Interzone. Richard and
Gregg have toured together in the past, opening for King Crimson, among
others, but this is their first recording together.
This record is an extension of the music and story of Vernon McAlister and
his music's influence on the people he encountered, which started on
Richard's last record, The Legend of Vernon McAlister. As on that album,
Richard has taken on a character's role in order to 'get inside' of the
music. Charlie is a self-taught guitarist from Marked Tree, Arkansas who
has developed his own way of playing the guitar, after a chance encounter
with Vernon. *Junk Fish* was a successful drummer in the 1970s, but was
eventually a casuality of the rock and roll lifestyle. He sold his drums,
moved to Marked Tree and works in the salvage yard where he and Charlie
met.
Richard and Gregg work with *junk* percussion, cheap guitars purchased off eBay, field recordings and simple tape effects to make a kaleidoscopic,
down-home, psychedelic experience.
