This is a fascinating release from New York's late eighties East Side art scene, the last gasp before the gentrification.
Rebby Sharp plays and sings a strange mix of folk and bluegrass, throwing in conscious lyrics with a fried sense of humour. She is ably supported by guests such as the Shimmy Disc head honch, Kramer, and underground legends, Fred Frith and Tom Cora. There's a lovely cover version of The Holy Modal Rounders' Hesitation Blues.
