triPup Records is pleased to announce that John
Sinclair's latest CD, Steady Rollin' Man (get it?) is now
available. The disc, with elegant Blue Note style graphics, 11 tracks
and extensive liner notes from John himself, clocks in at more than an
hour of music. It captures John in peak form, roaring like a lion -
taking his spiritual, soulful mix of narrative poetry and activism to
new heights.
Recorded on John's "End of the Millennium Tour," Steady
Rollin' Man also features Ted and Eric from Devil Gods
on guitar and drums, and bassist Mike Yocco. The CD's release was
celebrated with a gig at House of Blues in Cambridge in October that
also marked John's 59th birthday.
Steady Rollin' Man features live 'n' charging versions of Sinclair
favorites like Monk In Orbit, Homage To John Coltrane and his Muddy Waters
ode Louisiana Blues, as well as previously unrecorded gems like Hellhound On
My Trail, John's chilling narrative of the murder of Robert Johnson, and
Sunnyland Train, his tribute to Sunnyland Slim. Par for triPup releases, it's
also got plenty of burning, creative guitar.
The CD is available by mail for $14 including postage and handling.
Please send checks to Ted Drozdowski, P.O. Box 17208, Nashville, TN 37217. If you're more comfortable using a charge card, please go
to www.CDBaby.com now.
Whether you know John from his performance poetry, history of political
activism, DJ duties on WWOZ in his home town of New Orleans, Blues Access
magazine or his days as manager of the MC5, you'll dig Steady Rollin' Man.
Potent, inventive, extraordinary!
Here are some MP3s from Steady Rollin' Man:
- Monk In Orbit - an acid trip through inner-stellar space with the great
Thelonious
- My Buddy - powerhouse Detroit blues tribute to a fallen comrade
- Just Don't Say No - to Hell with Nancy Reagan
