More a-scraping and a-scraching of guitar and violin strings, accompanied by someone rumaging through a christmas hamper full of pots and pans.
A lot of the music I listen to is frequently refered to as 'Rubbish' by the casual observer. Most of the time I can see what they're getting at, as with most of this free-improvisation stuff;but, I kinda enjoy listening to it,and the fact it gets comments like 'This is Rubbish' from a passing random drone, makes it even more enjoyable. Drones,normals, Trump supporters,Brexiteers etc don't like concepts such as freedom, and the abstract.Much less,things that are beyond their comprehension and seem to have no rules,or control mechanisms. These concepts can destroy society, so this is dangerous music.It is not Adult Orientated Rock,but it is adult orientated,yet retaining that childlike sense of exploration and adventure.
Here we find Davey Williams with one of his regular collaborators,unhinged violinist LaDonna Smith,exploring further abstract adventures with stringed instruments.
Whats so good about this record is that the pressing is so bad that between the tracks the needle makes a noise not unlike an early Boyd Rice/Non locked groove number.

A1 Early Balloon Tires 5:48

A4 Silent Observer's Relection 2:58

Thank you VERY much!
Thanks for these rare Smith/Williams albums. RIP, Davey Williams
This is proof that there used to be music that was not targeted to adolescents/teens (chronologically or mentally) and that music can be enlightening not just patronizing.

Absolutely true JZ and I think that what we all need is more Adult Oriented Music. Thanks for the post and write-up.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
