KANE, JONATHAN - I Looked At the Sun

Jonathan Kanes rollicking, majestic and critically-acclaimed debut February set you up with his lustrous, deep-grooved sound; now comes the bare-knuckled knock-out punch. On the opening track, BQE, Kane compliments his signature wall of guitars with the high-lonesome serenade of pedal steel, then puts that pedal to the metal and barrels through the psychedelic badlands of Mississippi Fred Mcdowells classic I Looked at the Sun. Add the Dixie-fried strut of ZZ Tops Billy Giibbons to Glenn Brancas guitar armies and youre still only halfway to Kanes mind-blowing reinvention of both minimalism and the blues -- its a blistering days drive from anything youve heard before. - Table Of The Elements.
