WILCO "KICKING TELEVISION"



Wilco double live CD recorded at the Vic in Chicago. Pitchfork says: "...Both (Jeff Tweedy) and Nels Cline torture their six-strings as if the Vic were a covert U.S. detainee camp in Eastern Europe: piercing the infernal night in "Hell Is Chrome", cavorting Grateful Deadward on "Handshake Drugs", and sprawling across the dark center of the universe over the Neu!-like drone of "Spiders (Kidsmoke)", which reinvigorates the studio version and is the release's crowning achievement."

GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE COVER ARTICLE (MARCH '05)



YIKES! OK, my dad was a charter subscriber to Guitar Player back in the 60s. He thought it would be fun for both him and me (he was taking folk guitar lessons at night school!) to read and enjoy. This was back when it was a slender little thing with still lifes of acoustic guitars wearing sombreros on the cover. After the exposure to these early issues, I was always sure to get issues featuring my fave raves like Jeff Beck, Duane Allman, Hendrix... Also quite memorable are some of the columnists, particularly Tommy Tedesco's "Studio Log" - a vision of another reality that was filled with wry humor and detailed information - Howard Roberts' columns, and a bizarre, abstruse bit of prosaic obfuscation by guest writer John Fahey. Being a combination of lazy, fearful, and generally oblivious, I never really did any of those scale exercises and such. BUT, now the editorial staff at this magazine, the FIRST guitar geek report, has decided that every other issue they do will feature a guitarist that they feel is worthy of exposure. When Barry Cleveland called me, I was pretty sure it was a prank of some kind. No publicists, managers, or agents (I don't directly retain any such infrastructure) were pitching this weird idea, that's for sure. But it wasn't a prank! So here I am, on the cover of the ultimate monthly compendium of guitar geek reportage... I am honored & embarrassed. But grateful... and stunned. OK, enough. Now just wish this simple prayer: May the dozens of guitarists names that popped into my mind who HAVEN'T YET graced this cover now flood YOUR mind!....ZAP!!
