Daddy
Mojo Cigar Box Wonders
Why am I sometimes the
last to hear of these things? I'd heard mention of the infamous Cigar Box
guitar but had neither seen one nor heard any recordings, at least while I
was conscious. So when Mr. Lenny of Daddy
Mojo sent us a thank-you for making the Atomic Space Tone give credance
to his Daddy Mojo Cigar Box creations, I was simply amazed at these pieces
that double as folk art and insanely soulful instruments, cutting through
the glitz and glitter of the typical off the shelf axe-O-cutout. Man, these
beasts are bare bones, gutter-rifferic GOOD! They exude soul and make the
perfect match for the Swart Valve TONE ooze. Man, I'm SMITTEN! I have to have
one!

Harp Tone
ST- 6V6se
We love when we hear from Jay O'Rourke out of Rax Trax Studios as we know it's going to be something outside the beaten down box, whether it be photo, sound, or some sort of missive on Life Where We're Not. And if that's not too clear, then there's not much else I can say, except to listen to this beauty from the hands of one of his clients on harp. As Jay says, "Space Tone...Volume on 11, tone on ZERO." The fiend does not mince words here. That's him at right after a 2am session. He records with just about every Swart there is. Wait till he sends the guitar stuff... I'll have to bust out of this 1 inch column!
