Richard Youngs - Amplifying Host Format:Vinyl but never outdoneAmplifying Host finds Richard Young's wandering the guitar desert somewhere between Ry Cooder's Paris, Texas score and Neil Young's work on Dead Man. Yet, the randomly determined chord movements and Young's' stretched out vocal passes across the record are, perhaps, more akin to Jandek's Six And Six ? here, removed from it's gauze and dipped in a dark gold. When Young's bends strings in this Anglo Americana vision, it's like he's bending spoons.
