Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog- Party Intellectuals (2008)

Ribot's "first rock band since high school". Jeez Louise.

"Ceramic Dog
1. chien du faience: expression: frozen with emotion, as in the perfectly still moment before a fight breaks out.
2. Ultimate kitsch object.
3. A free/punk/funk/experimental/psychedelic/post electronica collective, featuring Marc (Cubanos Postizos, John Zorn, Tom Waits, etc etc), plus two of the best young players on the New York/California underground improv/experimental rock scene, Shazad Ismailly (bass) and Chess Smith (drums)
4. Not a 'project': a real band.

"Marc Ribot's new power trio, filled out by the remarkable versatile rhythm team of bassist Shahzad Ismaily and drummer Ches Smith, is his rawest band in ages." (TimeOut NY)"

todo el mundo es kitsch.

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs (1985)

One of my personal favorites. This album contains many of Tom Waits' best songs and features really superb arrangements. He has a unique and distinct style and has something for everyone. You'll want to read his lyrics like a book. Pop in this one and open up a bottle of bourbon.
"Waits employs a crack back up band, with significant guess appearances with performers like Keith Richards. The star back up musician is, however, Marc Ribot, who as he so often does provides stunningly original guitar lines that embellish every song upon which he appears."

They say if you get far enough away You'll be on your way back home

Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos - The Prosthetic Cubans

Continuing with some more Cuban influenced music I'll include this gem by guitarist Marc Ribot who's most famous for working with Tom Waits and John Zorn. He explores his love of Cuban music and the great Cuban band leader Arsenio Rodriguez with a collection of covers and original tracks played with his unique style.
