As Captain Beefheart's lead guitarist and manager after Zoot left, Gary Lucas is sheer genius right up there with Zappa, Hendrix, Vai. His early solo albums are absolutely without parallel (Busy Being Born, Street of Lost Brothers, Paradiso, Skeleton at the Feast, Evangeline). I think he has contributed to the lack of recognition that plagues his career - but one day.....
More than unique - he has a literary and musical background filled with inspiration - he brought Jeff Buckley onto the world stage (wrote music for Grace and Rise Up to Be) - psychedlic bluegrass and an encyclopaedia of musical knowledge - get in touch with him...
