Up for grab is the "Mercury Blues" CD by The Shiva Burlesque. Released in 2003 by Ripple Effect Records, Made In USA. Adding new bassist and future Grant Lee Buffalo member/producer Paul
Kimble and cellist Greg Adamson to the group brought a new, somewhat
more "organic" and sometimes hard driving sound to the mix. This one is
somewhat closer in mood and tone to the first two Grant Lee Buffalo
releases and includes the song "Cherry Orchard" with Grant Lee Phillips
singing which features just the three future members of that group, also
Grant sings a "duet" on the song "Chester the Chimp." This was
recorded in a much better room than the first record, the drums
especially, sound great with much more varied and professional
production. The remastering is excellent which blows away the sound of
my original CD. The songs are more wide ranging than on their debut
record with the highlights being "Sick Friend", "Do the Pony", "Peace"
"Sparrow's Song" and the spy/punk music flavored "Meet Jack Ruby" (you
could get shot, shot!) being some of the best, although I don't think
there is a weak song on this very good record. There is a hidden track
that is a short, funny Beach Boys send up that is quite a gas.
CD is in Mint Condition. There is a sticker residue on the digipak and a small tear which is hardly noticeable on the back portion. I only sell Original / Legit CD! No Copy or
