FEATURES GUESTS ERIC DREW FELDMAN, NOLAN COOK, CARLA FABRIZIO, SIVAN LIONCUB, PETER WHITEHEAD AND BLACK FRANCIS. Realising a career-long ambition, The Residents finally explore The Blues! Having been turned on to the music of lost bluesman Alvin Snow, aka Dyin’ Dog, the group presents their interpretations of all ten of Snow’s known recordings, alongside several new compositions inspired by his work. Fans will be familiar with The Residents’ love of cover versions and imposing themselves on the material of countless seminal artists. “Metal, Meat & Bone” sees the group take that approach a step further, having discovered a previously unknown artist on their own doorstep and found themselves moved to record their own tribute to his work. The result is a collision of the pain of the wounded bluesman and the subversive and unpredictable sound of this most unique of bands.
