howdy y’all from the deep, dark heart of the country
yup, thats right

i feel a little out of touch with with the so called ‘scene’ considering my location (small town) and infrequent glimpses of the internet, but i can throw a bone in here or there. possibly shit that you’ve heard of months or even years ago, but hey, things move kinda slow here.
if you want to know the know about country, western OR swing music, i’m you’re guy. i’m hip deep down here. but i’ll try to stick to the story
luckily i’m in radio distance to houston. heard about jimi tenor, who apparently is the big deal in his finnish homeland (and that funny place we call europe). i need to check out more, maybe get a cd, but heres a few tidbits to get ya goin.

allmusic talking about his album intervision “An almost uncharacteristically schmaltz-less collection of minimal electronic jazz, Intervisionblends fat organ leads with horns, raw and treated vocals, and rhythmic and percussive figures drawn from ’60s and ’70s soul, funk, fusion, and psychedelia, as well as contemporary house, downbeat, and techno. Oddly (or not), the album was recorded using only ancient Russian analog gear, in a former Communist dancehall.’
nothing sounds more fun then a former communist dance hall
