Hick Hop

Ridley Bent ? Maplemusic blam0001
Variously describing itself in its publicity, this music is Chandler & Steinbeck in Song, Turntable Tarantino and Hick Hop, whichever you choose. I go for the latter, I think. The EP is a highly original and entertaining example of the wonderfully diverse choice of exciting musics available when one dares to stray from the straight and narrow track that most record companies and radio stations seem determined we adhere to. There’s a range of original infectious grooves parading under the intriguing titles of ‘Suicidewinder,’ ‘The Devil & Coltrane Henry,’ ‘Fruitpickers (In Dubious Battle),’ ‘Lethal Track’ and ‘Pastures of Heaven.’ If this is a cross section of the type of work Ridley Bent produces on a regular basis, then I can’t wait to get my hands on the forthcoming album ‘Blam!’

I happen to know for a fact that BBC's 6Music received a copy of that CD. Perhaps you could drop them a line and request it, if the mood so moves you? Ask Tom Robinson - he'll know about it.
