"One For The Hangman" by the Tom Price Desert Classic


Continuing the "Hanging" theme of this band, here is another one. Features a neat organ line from Matt Wright and a cool fuzz solo from Don Blackstone. Not to mention the supple bass stylings, incredible vocals. And then there's the drumming.
As to the accompanying photo, I liked the hutzpah of the owners in light of the Mad Cow scare of a few years back. When I went in it was pretty empty.

Glad you liked these tracks. I think we've decided that the next step for this band is to do some "real" recording. These songs (plus about a dozen others) were recorded in the practice room on a 4-track reel-to-reel using basically toy instruments. We just need to scrape together some money which at this point may mean donating a lot of blood. Tom seems kenn on "Honey Baby" being a single so we'll see. Thanks-Martin
