Marc Ribot – Hurry Red Telephone (CD)

Marc Ribot has spent decades as one of rock and jazz's most restless and necessary guitarists, his work with Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, and his own Ceramic Dog project marking him as a musician who bends genre without chasing trends. Hurry Red Telephone finds him in solo territory, where his playing gets most naked and confrontational, the spaces between notes carrying as much weight as anything he strikes.
