#161 in the Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumental Series, Peace of Insignificance,
features a true World musician, guitarist, Fareed Haque. It is much easier and more thorough for you to just read his Wiki than for me to cherry-pick factoids from it. But I will point out that Fareed is playing his guitar/sitar on this track and he is absolutely killing it. His sense of melody and adventure is truly wonderful. A great example of playing the blues as an idiom, not the dogma. I first heard Fareed play with Garaj Mahal on a double bill with Funkwrench at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville back in 2008. It was Moogfest and he and Kenny Vaughan were both exhibiting the, at the time, new Moog Guitar. Moog hooked us up with all kinds of cool noisemakers, and I'm still rockin' my ring modulator today. Enjoy!
The backing band on this track is Rich Kirch (John Lee Hooker 1984-2001) on rhythm guitar, Alvino Bennett (Dave Mason, Stevie Wonder) on drums, and myself on bass. The track was recorded at Skunkworks in Capitola CA. Mixed by the Grammy-winning Godfather of Grunge, Jack Endino (Nirvana, Nando Reis), and masterfully mastered by Alex McCollough at True East Mastering.
