Susan Alcorn is one of the greats and she shreds so hard on this.
It’s Bandcamp Friday, and preorders are now open for the swan song from the late pedal-steel virtuoso Susan Alcorn, improvising with metal duo Nomad War Machine. It’s on my label, and I’m honored and humbled to have a hand in getting it out into the world.
