about

""Worn-denim instrumental psych country." Raven Sings The Blues

Recorded to ¼” tape, Shakedown In Slabtown is a sunscorched ramble through widescreen guitar instrumentalism, down-home gospel, Kosmische repetition and swampy country choogle with the hiss left in.

Bobby is joined by Guy Whittaker (Sharron Kraus, Jim Ghedi, Big Eyes) on drums and percussion, Mark Armstrong on electric bass and keys plus a primitive drum machine groove last heard on Suicide's debut or JJ Cale’s early records.

Owing as much to The Durutti Column as Ry Cooder, the album takes in stripped back traditionals, fuzzed out folk funk, Hired Hand-style acoustic vignettes and wide eyed rural rock. In the grand power-trio tradition, the album closes with a live rave up; an 11min+ elongated deconstruction of Warren Zevon’s Join Me in LA, equal parts Dr John’s Gris Gris, E2E4 and CCR vamp.

"Lee’s making his mark here, spinning classics into his own essence while crafting an album of personal mediations that spurn the impulse to sit still." Raven Sings The Blues

"Delectable and intoxicating cosmic desert hymns." Moof Magazine

"Take these instrumentals and write your own story on them, they will give you space and inspiration to do so." Americana UK

Support from Shindig Magazine, The Avant Ghetto, Night Folk, TSPTR, Terrascopaedia.

If Wooden Shjips traded their sails for a prairie schooner, this is what you might hear them playing around the campfire at night on the Great Plains: homespun country-rock with a hint of psychedelia. Wonderful stuff, from start to finish. neu-mann

Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem! Plinchmo Larduktin
