Description:
As arresting and immediate as the recordings of Robert Johnson, these forgotten, scratchy ghosts come to haunt us despite the passage of time. To the accompaniment of deft bouzouki playing, these spectral musicians sing of hashish, love, cynicism and despair. Check out "Spachanis (The Dude's Song)," with its inescapable declarations (effective even without the translation): "I wish I was a needle in the sand/So you'd thread me and get pricked." This is raw, fascinating stuff.
