A truly underground document of the national obsession with heavy, mind-bent psychedelia. Originating in the unassuming suburb of Prairie Springs, Kansas, Bulbous Creation seem to have warped directly from the wrong side of the looking glass with a jabberwocky full of surreal lyrics and gratuitous guitar solos. Recorded and abandoned in the catacombs of Independence, Missouri's Cavern Sound studio in 1971, Bulbous Creation's eight-song screed invokes images of sinners, wage slaves, drugs, out of touch parents, jail, and the devil, naturally.

Lars Edegran is generally known as a pianist but on this new CD he is on his National Trillian tenor guitar with his string band backing him. Tracks Blame It on the Blues, I'm Glad for Your Sake, La Rosita, That Old Gang of Mine, Black Cat on the Fence, You Tell Me Your Dream, I'll Tell You Mine, the Red Rose Rag, Let Me Call You Sweetheart, Aquellos Ojos Verde (Green Eyes), Savior, Lead Me, Lest I Stray, South, a Porter's Love Song to a Chambermaid, Sobre Las Olas (Over the Waves), We'll Meet Again, Cecelia.
