Bare Bones

Seventy7

Funky Jo

The image reminded of the nightmare truck in Steven Spielberg's debut film, "Duel", as if the train is some sort of hybrid of that Peterbilt and the car in  "Christine".
Which explains this rather melodious piece of piano jazz...

Duel 2

This month's entry to the Basschat Compo Compo is inspired by this picture of New York's 7th Avenue - hence funk and fashion.
Bass is the trusty Wal - either balanced DI or via Rocktron distorted wah.

Turn To The Left

As this month's picture was a painting that had presumably been in an exhibition, and was depicting the French retreat from Moscow, the first thing I thought of was Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" (obviously!).
Hence a jaunty, jazzy musing on the promenade theme!

A Walk On The Cold Side

This is a slab of cowboy dub, complete with authentic ricocheting Colt 45s, slide guitar as played by Doc Holliday and harp in the style of Wyatt Earp...
I'd advise listening on the biggest speakers you can find as there's lots of bass!

Tombstone Dub

It's Not Me, It's You

This is a song about whales and dentists, and why never the twain should meet...

Say Aaah

The picture obviously conjures up images of Muhammed Ali floating like a butterfly, which logically leads to a tabla chant and crooning...
The title is a quote by "The Greatest".
