Last week Joe Pug released a live album of a set that was recorded at Lincoln Hall last Spring. The 17 track released can be found here, and it is a nice document of what Pug has been able to accomplish over the last three years. Pug is currently putting the finishing touches on his next studio album. The album will be called The Great Despiser and is scheduled to be released this Spring.
Stephen Paul Smoker released his new album Ripe Fruit last week. The album an eclectic romp shifting from the fast paced, driving rhythm of "In Cairo" to the somber pluck guitar of "Cold As A Stone". This album seems meditative and psychedelic at the time. The are many moments through out at quite, almost restful. One of my favorites are the flute interlude in "The Light On The First Day of Spring... Pt 1.". In many way Stephen Paul Smoker is a throw back the 60's, but the way he builds his melody's also feel very modern. Ripe Fruit is just that, fresh and ready to be consumed.
