Originally a limited edition CD for Pelt's summer 2000 tour, hand selected by west-coast mystic Rob Vaughn. Recorded in New Orleans and Austin on the band's monumental spring 1998 tour (which yielded their masterpiece Empty Bell Ringing In The Sky), Rob's Choice gives you a listen to 2 nearly complete performances, both superb expressions of the band's higher ground drone myth expansion and contraction, uh, that is to say it wails, and who doesn't love that Lowrey tube organ? Plus, there's the very special addition of Tom Carter (Charalambides) on sax and time-lag accumulator on the Austin performance.

Thanks to Michael D for button pushing, Tom and Christina for hospitality, and Rob Vaughn for guidance spiritual and geographic.
I love this album because Jack Rose was one of the most creative acoustic guitar artists of our time. His music takes you places in frenzied dances and bring you back down to rest on a bed of feathers. jsandstrum
