Oh Smoke by Roscoe Speers
"Thus, ‘Oh Smoke’ counts as only the third official Roscoe Speers long-player, recorded at intervals and finally released some 13 years after ‘Hoopsnake’ (its true predecessor, in purpose). Brewed at home and brooding in tone, I contend that ‘Oh Smoke’ both broadens and reaffirms the strange, glacial pursuit of brother Roscoe and his company." -- The Reverend Harlow Jesse Carpenter
