A few years ago, SONIC BOOM (SPACEMAN 3, SPECTRUM, EAR) traveled to Independence, Mississippi to work with legendary producer JIM DICKINSON (aka CAPTAIN MEMPHIS). The result is Indian Giver, a true collaboration where the two artists share both a stage and their musical visions.

"The Lonesome Death Of Johnny Ace," an epic, southern-fried biographical groover, tells the tale of a famous singer's Christmas Day Russian Roulette tragedy. The rest of the album finds Boom revisiting his past: a new, fuzzier rendition of Mudhoney's "When Tomorrow Hits," a revamped version of ultra-rare Spectrum popper "Take Your Time," and Spaceman 3 staple "Hey Man (Amen)," where Dickinson throws down some back-ups. The Dickinson tunes are brand new and eerie, with his recitations backed by ecstatic symphonies. The record is book ended by new Spectrum number "Mary," which carries with it a decidedly Neu! theme.

Includes contributions from TATE COUNTY SINGERS (OTHA TURNER's kin) and FUXA.
