Robert Johnson And Punchdrunks "Fried On The Altar Of Good Taste" 2000

There's no shortage of coolness here. A great and inventive blend of genres, from Link Wray and surf to space age Star Trek tweakiness, this CD wanders the halls of danger with power and real freshness. The production is imaginative and very effective, and the ideas unique. If you're looking for trad, this isn't it. On the other hand, if you have your adventure hat on, and a bottle of courage in your backpack, this will surely make your day. Robert Johnson is the guitarist responsible for the excellent Swedish band the Bottle Ups. - Phil Dirttrax:

This is what it's all about; swinging music by eccentrics with an ear for a tune... the pair's raw attempts at doo wop are simply sublime. --Mojo

In Montreal, Canada, Black Snake and Mark Sultan played in the underground punk-garage band The Spaceshits. Following that band's demise, Sultan banged drums for Canadian garage rock legends Les Sexareenos. Black Snake transformed into King Khan and relocated to Hamburg, Germany to become the Maharaja of '60s super-soul with his band The Shrines. After the Sexareenos split, Sultan traveled the world with his guitar, serenading Brazilians, Laotians, Americans, and the French with his one-man band BBQ. One day a light bulb went off in their heads and they decided to join forces. The King Khan & BBQ Show was born. They released their debut album, recorded by DM Bob in Hamburg, on Goner Records in 2005. The record was deleted soon thereafter.

In The Red presents this long-overdue re-release of this classic in a newly expanded package. There are two bonus tracks not originally available on the Goner release and brand new artwork. This is a must for any fan of real rock'n'roll music. Take off your pants and dance.
