About this product
While past releases saw the band's avant folk dosed somewhat conservatively with the blues, free jazz, heavy psych, and metal, Gipsy Freedom brings these other, non-folk elements to the fore and generally turns the volume up. It's the band's most confounding and rewarding . You may hear the faint echoes of Island Harvest-era Albert Ayler on one track, Iommi-derived riffage on the next, torch songs that sound torn straight from the Gershwin songbook on the next, and Can-style epic grooves on the next. Radically different, yet sustaining the group's high level of musical and thematic consistency, Gipsy Freedom is the sound of a band breaking out of the box and using the discarded shapes to construct strange new universes. Five Rue Christine. 2006.

![Wooden Wand & the Sky High Band - Second Attention - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/d9755272-0cf3-4e5b-ba42-6257f345f4c8.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Possessed with the heart and soul of Neil Hagerty and Neil Young, Wooden Wand leads the band - featuring members of Sky green Leopards, the Vanishing Voice, and Davenport - through eleven rollicking tunes that recall such cracked masterpieces as InchTonight's the NightInch and InchMendocinoInch. Wand has become somewhat well known for his surreal lyrical imagery, an uppity blend as informed by Robyn Hitchcock as by the Zimmer Man himself, and on InchSecond AttentionInch, he spares no detail.

Fontanelle is the second studio album by Babes in Toyland and was the band's first on a major tag, and their first recording to feature Maureen Herman on bass. The album was co-produced by frontwoman and guitarist Kat Bjelland with Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth heading production.

Briarwood' represents the latest direction by an artist (James Jackson Toth, aka Wooden Wand) who continuously confounds, befuddles and challenges his loyal fans, but what do you expect from a guy with a tattoo on his wrist that says InchWhat Would Neil Young Do?Inch Recorded with Duquette Johnston and his band the Gum Creek Killers, the sessions were casual and loose, yielding some of the most 'rock and roll' sounding music of Toth's long career.
