About this product
Over the weekend of August 21-22, 2010, not long after Damien Jurado and Richard Swift first collaborated to produce Damien's 2010 record, Saint Bartlett, the pair hunkered down with a 4-track recorder and one Coles 4038 ribbon microphone to record a collection of cover songs that run the gamut from John Denver to Chubby Checker to Kraftwerk. The timing was perfect. On Other People's Songs Vol 1, we can see the scaffolding of what would become a creative turning point for the pair - later seen with the of Damien Jurado's Maraqopa, the first record in his Maraqopa trilogy - less than 2 years later. The opening drum hits of InchBe Not So FearfulInch, the falsetto vocals of InchSweetnessInch, and the Spaghetti-Western swing of InchRadioactivityInch are, by now, hallmarks of the Jurado/Swift sound, but Other People's Songs Vol 1 is a transitional fossil, a marking of the pair's collaborative evolution.

![Richard Swift - Hex - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/10fd2230-980f-4adb-8268-a5bca1289514.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Richard Swift believed in and sought real beauty. And so, even at it's most caustic and sardonic, his masterpiece swan song The Hex is beautiful. Conceived in pieces over the last several years and completed just the month before his passing, The Hex is the grand statement Swift acolytes have been a-wishin-and-a-hopin' for all these years. After a career of sticking some of his finest songs on EPs and 45s, here are all his powers coalescing into a single, long-player statement. An obsessive fan of Wall of Sound doo-wop, early Funkadelic, Bo Diddley, Beefheart and Link Wray, Swift gives them all a moment with the flashlight around The Hex campfire, one moment to make a strange shadow-cast face for us, his family and friends.

Double EP love affair with old rock 'n' roll to satiate fans and intrigue the uninitiated while he works on the follow-up to 2007's critically acclaimed debut full-length InchDressed Up for the LetdownInch. Vinyl comes pressed with good vibes while the CD comes in awesome InchAt BudokanInch-style double wide fatty jewel cases, tailor made for the kid in US who still likes a little weight between our fingers.
