Details:
In the basement, with the bare light bulb blaring down on the cracks in the old concrete floor âSidewalkâ Tom Richter tells tall tales with his guitars, banjo, piano and voice. Accompanying Tom on this crazy ride are true-blue Sailors that come prepared for all weather conditions: Ace âTip-Toeâ Yates on 5-string bass and electric guitar, Greg âZenmanâ Zaino on the zendrum, Dale âOther Roomâ Orr playing a mean muted trumpet in the open spaces, and Brian âChunkabillyâ Goetz shaking the shakers, recording, mixing, and producing the whole shebang for chunkabillymusic.

âAbandoned Appliancesâ is an interesting blend of folk and blues style songwriting borrowing elements of Hiatt, Waits, Dylan, Prine as well as Eric Anderson, Stan Rogers, and Woody Guthrie. Not to mention Robert Johnsonâ¦Tommy Johnsonâ¦Lonnie Johnsonâ¦

This music was recorded spontaneously and remains relatively unedited. Unpolished and perhaps, more raw bar than deep fry. Still, the Sailors took to the basement and hunkered down to create "Abandoned Appliances," while waiting for the chance to mobilize for their next sail. Take a ride with the Sailors as they crest the waves between the notes of their guitars, banjo, bass, drums, keys and horn.

Happy sailing!
