Search - Spectrum Meets Captain Memphis :: Indian Giver

A few years ago, Sonic Boom (Spaceman 3, Spectrum, EAR) traveled to Independence, Mississippi to work with legendary producer Jim Dickinson, A.K.A. Captain Memphis. The result is Indian Giver, a true collaboration where the two artists share both a stage and their musical visions. 'The Lonesome Death Of Johnny Ace', an epic, southernfried biographical groover, tells the tale of a famous singer?s Christmas Day Russian Roulette tragedy. The rest of the album finds Boom revisiting his past: a new, fuzzier rendition of Mudhoney?s 'When Tomorrow Hits', a revamped version of ultra-rare Spectrum popper 'Take Your Time', and Spaceman 3 staple 'Hey Man (Amen)', where Dickinson throws down some back-ups. The Dickinson tunes are brand new and eerie, with his recitations backed by ecstatic symphonies. The record is book ended by new Spectrum number 'Mary', which carries with it a decidedly Neu! theme. This is a once-in-a-lifetime musical meeting, and the resultant album could only have come from these two musical icons.
