King Kazoo
Steve Baker and Dick Bird
℗ 2008 Acoustic Music Records 319 1400 / © Discovery Records
Steve Baker and Dick Bird have played together since the early 1970s, the title of their CD pays homage to the kazoo, an instrument which is hated even more than the harmonica (if this is possible!). “King Kazoo“ features acoustic instruments almost exclusively and showcases Dick and Steve‘s energetic and grooving approach to a wide range of material in the country blues and jugband vein, underlining both their instrumental and vocal abillities as well as Dick‘s amazing talents on ... yes, the kazoo, unfortunately. |
