Guest Book

Hey Paris, I would highly recommend Col. Bruce Hampton and the Code Talkers. Oteil and Derek of the ABB are just two of the many people that the Colonel has ruined for life with his zany musical hijinks. Bruce has a very spontaneous vibe and never sings a tune the same way twice. His gruff voice is full of character and sounds right at home singing blues, acid jazz, bluegrass, and anything else you can think of. His right-hand man in the Code Talkers is Bobby Lee Rogers, as good a guitar and banjo player as you'll see. I'm not sure if you are familiar with Bruce's other bands or not, but if you haven't heard the Aquarium Rescue Unit's first album yet, you ain't been living right! 🙂 The Code Talkers are more bluegrass-oriented than ARU, and more structured to some extent, but they can still take a jam way out there. Bruce Hampton is an institution in the Southern musical scene, like the weird old uncle that everyone looks forward to getting drunk with at the family reunion, and you owe it to yourself to check him out.
