PICKERS DELIGHT

Do you have any guitarist friends that are so full on into it that you have to figure any band they like most have some intrinsic guitar value? That's what made me go on an overdue Sadies binge. Particularly, the video below, linked to by a guitarist I know. There's some serious pickin' going on, tell you what.  It's gloomy, and the solo builds to a Link Wray type blowout. The song, and the whole vibe of the video, is total David Lynch.  It's well edited, and the sound is incredibly good, studio good. The thing that's really nuts is that they're playing live, in someone's house.



Sample some of the stuff below. The range of guitar sounds is nuts. There's Bakersfield type picking, surf sounding stuff, some Galveston-era Glen Campbell, and all sorts of other stuff referenced, sometimes several in the same song.  And check the video below, it's also nuts.
