a Smokin' Jo Crow aa Washerwoman's Brawl Imagine Sun Ra or Albert Ayler leading a marching band on the set of 1970`s cult horror flick `The Wicker Man` and you might get close to the Tongues Of Fire sound! Composer and band leader Tim Hill expertly fuses American jazz and English folk traditions into a hypnotic brew of unstoppable rhythms and roaring brass. This is a joyous noise. `Smokin Jo Crow` is a percussive ode to a giantapocalyptic bird, with hints of gris gris era Dr John. The flip side, `Washerwoman`s Brawl` is based on a traditional Elizabethan dance updated for a 7 piece jazz band! We`ve produced an illustrated, 8 page booklet to accompany this 7?, written by Tim Hill to explain the wide range of influences, politics & philosophy behind his remarkable music.
