Greg Ashley
Medicine Fuck Dream
Birdman
2003
Rating: 5.5 peyote flashbacks out of 10
Not unlike Lone Pigeon and other contemporaries, this record is Greg Ashley’s way of telling the world that he really, really likes Syd Barrett. According to the website this is “a collection of 10 songs pretty much about 10 girls”, and I’d have to say that seems about right from what I’m hearing. Not a terrible record by any means, but it does tend to drift into the background from time to time. The combination of “Deep Deep Down” and “Lost Highway” probably account for the best part of the CD, the latter sounding like a long lost cowboy song gone psychedelic. Certainly worth checking out if you’re already a fan of such music, but don’t come hunting me down it doesn’t hold your ear.
