December 2022

<p>Greetings Dead Freaks!</p><p>The last episode of 2022 is here with a variety of new (and old) music recommendations coming straight from my playlists to your earholes. Its definitely been a year over here at Shrunken Road Studios and I thank you for sticking with me through it all. In addition to the recommendations, I'm taking one last chance to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead's 1972 shows with a healthy mix that gets good and weird.</p><p>Please check out these fine releases as heard in the episode:<br /><br />Phil Cook "From The Kitchen" is a terrific 2xLP live album available from Warhen Records. Cook and company create a charming blend of blues, soul, and gospel that touches the heart and lifts the spirit. I had the pleasure of talking to him for <a href="https://brokedownpodcast.blogspot.com/2018/06/021-featuring-phil-cook.html">episode 21</a>(!) and continue to love his work. Grip your copy today via the <a href="https://warhenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/from-the-kitchen">Warhen Record Bandcamp</a>.</p><p>Sunburned Hand of the Man is a psychedelic/experimental music collective that has had many members, many forms, and many sounds over the years but they have consistently made great, weird, music for decades. The recent reissue of "Headdress" from Three Lobed Recordings throws back hard to the sound of the band 20 years ago but it could well have been recorded last week. Or next. <a href="https://threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/headdress-20th-anniversary-remaster">Grip that here</a>. Or go to the Sunburned Bandcamp page and check out "Archive Dive" which contains the fuller excerpt of the excerpt played on the show as well as a few other live cuts which, you'll find, are not the same as what I presented. That's who these guys are; an ungoverned morass of sound and spirit. Ride along or get off the bus. Get Archive Dive or, even better, their entire digital discography for the cost of an album at <a href="https://sunburnedhandoftheman.bandcamp.com/album/archive-dive">subunrnedhandofthema
