HAM1: Let's Go On and On and On with HAM1

Try to describe the sound of HAM1 and the name dropping begins. Think Johnny Dowd fronting the 13th Floor Elevators, with The Beatles ca 1966 and Velvets (in their White Light/White heat phase) references. In other words: howling feedback, surprisingly melodic, off beat, quirky and laid-back wrapped as a present that might go "boom" in your face. The band are at hand with some band aids to patch you up and say they are truly sorry.

Let's Go On and On and On with HAM1 is the brain child of Athens, GA, songwriter Jim Willingham, who is beyond left-fleld. He might as be playing in a different ball park. A highly original album that takes "idiosyncratic" to the next level. Psychedelic air candy that gets stuck in your brain for hours on end.
