Hesitantly Pleasant

Too often people assume that those of us in the field of music recording had a distinct idea of what we wanted to do when we started. The truth is almost always that it's a wild and unpredictable path we end up on. Vance Powell is a perfect example.

His work has earned him three Grammy awards (Jars of Clay, Buddy Guy, and The Raconteurs). Along the way he's recorded with a wide variety of artists, including Keb' Mo', Martina McBride, The Secret Machines, Karen Elson and of course Jack White. Larry Crane ran around Nashville on a crazy tour with Vance for 11 hours one day and, near the end, they sat down to chat.

Disclaimer: This audio recording was not originally tracked with the intent of using for a podcast. It was recorded solely for transcription for our print interview (see issue #82). Please forgive any balance issues, background sounds, and lack of clarity.

Reviews
"Dave Jackson free-squeeks the alto sax into Patty Waters/Yoko Ono’s attic.... - Julian Cope

 "classic squee-pileage in the post-ESP tradition..... loose sonic collisions and and interwoven blather in ripely extended fire-form, all revolving around theories of meat and its ability to burn. Solid, savage blurt." - Thurston Moore - Arthur Magazine 

"nice freak register tangling" - Byron Coley

 It’s almost more than I can bear and words never took me here. I am drunk. Pissed through the ears as it were, inebriated on a chaos symphony, tripping on an acid-fuelled maelstrom of impeccably blown hellishness and thrown into the comfortably familiar zone of sweet oblivion. Why does this beautiful f***ing mess make me want to cry so hard? The world is a different place. I am dust." Damo Kawasaki - Plan B Magazine 

“Incendiary free jazz blast.... with live talent like this on your doorstep, there’s no need to hunt down obscure Peter Brötzmann or ESP-Disk records from the 1960’s” – Alan Haselden

 "Ornette meets Iggy" - Freenoise
