There'll Be No Tears Tonight (1987) by Eugene Chadbourne



For those who have had to endure the material that I upload on Mumuplayer, you all will have probably listened this man's music already. For those who haven't... There'll Be No Tears Tonight is basically an album by a free improvisational guitarist who decided to give country rock a go. It's very much a fusion genre in that it combines jazz/free jazz, country rock, and free improvisation. All the tracks on the album are covers of some of his favorite country songs, but... this doesn't (by any means) take away from the originality that this works holds...

It's humorous, catchy, experimental, and unique... Tom Cora and John Zorn also make appearances on it (which is a plus in my book).

Anyways, here's a song from it:
