Stir [CD]

The combustive guitar/cello chemistry of MacKay and Kleijn has been forged through years of live performance. The freedom and new traditionalism Bill played with on Fountain Fire and his Ryley Walker collabs is full-on here. A MacKay song-cycle for the duo with space for improvisation, STIR is drawn from avant-rock, folk, jazz classical and experimental music. RIYL: Jim Hendrix, Henry Flynt, John Cage, Duke Ellington, Eric Satie, Body/Head.
