Weird surrealistic collab. of RAPOON & NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS under Pseudonyms!!
"This popular duo comprised of Hank Sterman (b. Henry Virgil Sterman, 20 April 1939, Obscurity, Texas, USA) and Slim Fenster (b. Dwight Radney Fenster Jnr, 4 May 1936 near Crisp, Ellis County, Texas, USA). Hank Sterman came from a musical family, his grandfather was a noted fiddle player who had recorded for RCA Victor. He learned to play several stringed instruments as a child and as a teenager played with his family at local dances. When the family moved to Tennessee, he took up busking. Slim Fenster was one of 13 children and a coal-miner's son. He first played piano at the age of 12 and headed his own gospel group at 19. He started in C&W radio on WRAL in Arlington, Virginia in 1947, but established his reputation as a session guitarist in Washington. This compact disc encompasses the gamut of Hank and Slim's more subtle side. Those who enjoy eerie country tinged soundscapes will be pleased by this recording." [from the liner notes]
