KNOX, REVEREND LESTER - ..Of Tifton, Georgia; Put Your Face In Gwod: The 366th Revival
Unselfconscious displays of wanton primitivism making the most potent representatives of the Crypt/Norton synod sound like third-chair Ernst Krenek fetishists by comparison. WE KID YOU NOT. Knox managed to cough up the dough to buy local (South Georgia) airtime for well over half a century. Tom Smith got hip to his coruscating genius as a high school senior, but only found the presence of mind to begin recording broadcasts in 1980. Put Your Face in Gwod was compiled from the least sane of the over 80 hours of tape he archived from Knoxs prime 1982-1994 epoch. In our view, Knox was one of the ultimate sonic reducers. Youll laugh, but the man was not a joke. He took down Magical Power Mako, Don Dietrich, and the entire Selektion catalogue in a trillionth of a nanosecond, and hell do the same to YOU. - Smack Shire.
