A-BAZOUKI VOLUME 1- A - Bazouki

A-Bazouki’s debut release on our own independent label Un-Gyve Records.



BOSTON - A-Bazouki Volume 1 released digitally 3.3.11 is now

available on iTunes.



I must say that this is one of the most original and unusual recordings that I have ever listened to...and I have listened to a lot of stuff. It is a cd and also includes a DVD. After listening to the cd a few times I took the DVD home and watched it in the comfomfort of my living room. I have to say that the films are well done and cohesive.



Got some free time and an open mind??? Check it out!



Recorded entirely in analogue on a small four-track deck in the basement, A-

Bazouki Volume 1 tributes the band’s roots with twelve songs. An

alternate take “Crossroads (For Robert Johnson) - Take 1” is also

included with the DVD, one of five movies, as part of the package

that contains a tape-bound booklet with movie-stills, lyrics, and

sleeve-notes by the man who named A-Bazouki Christopher Ricks

(Dylan’s Visions of Sin): “Modest is the down-to-earth term of high

praise that these songs earn.” The record will also be available on vinyl.
