Transcendental Rodeo: Vol. 1



Transcendental Rodeo - Vol. 1
Bennifer Editions (2009)
CDR edition of 100

'Otter Creek Blues' starts the album off on a nice meandering chugging rhythm aided by stringed twang, mouth harps, and tambourines; only to drop it all out further and further as each song transitions into the next. Venturing through the deep (& long!) zones of 'The Last Of The Bengal Tigers' leads us back onto some echoed & electrified stringed melodies in 'So Long, Jack Elan'.

Features a whole host of characters including Matthew "Doc" Dunn (who's got two great solo tapes on Bennifer as well) from MV & EE's The Golden Road. For fans of Tower Recordings and the Holy Modal Rounders. As well as MV & EE's various sounds, and the ramshackle nature of The Cherry Blossoms.

Sold out at the label, but there's a copy still available at Tomentosa if anyone out there wants the album for keeps. (http://www.tomentosarecords.com/bennifer.html)
