thrill 166 - 2006
ARIZONA AMP AND ALTERNATOR is Howe Gelb and friends keeping themselves busy in the desert (actually Denmark and Modesto mostly, with a little Tucson thrown in for good measure). Howe is a mind-bogglingly prolific songwriter, and he's joined here by a star-studded collection of co-conspirators- M.Ward, the boys from Grandaddy, Scout Niblett, Danish chanteuse Marie Frank, and Jeremy Gara (Arcade Fire).
we'll put a clamp on your old fret we'll recharge the battery in your tremulator we'll tune up your rusty machine head we'll get right to it sooner or later
