This guy wrote “do you compute” and “sinews” in 1990/1991. The S/T DLJ and Yank Crime changed my life. This guy is my singular greatest influence, as a guitarist and composer. And Hot Snakes STILL rules.
Ditto all these other praiseful comments. Speedo is the shit, the 'last true downstroke warrior'. I've been enjoying his music since I came across RFTC 'Paint as a Fragrance' in the 99c. bin of a blues-dad record shop in small-town ontario canada in 1993. Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes are two of my favourite bands, like, ever. And although Night Marchers are great, I miss Rick being in there. In my opinion JR & Rick together are head and shoulders above everybody else when it comes to Rock.
