Search - Dynamite Ham :: I Believe In You

For his debut CD, Dynamite Ham puts his versatility in high gear, playing over two dozen instruments in addition to lots of fun digital tweaking. The songs are all covers of songs by Frank Loesser ("Guys and Dolls," etc) and Dr. Frank of the legendary pop-punk band, The Mr T Experience. While Dynamite Ham doesn't do a lot of cross-pollination between genres within songs, the genres vary wildly from song to song. From honky-tonk to disco, bossa nova to klezmer, torch song to something we call "digitally enhanced auctioneering." Dynamite Ham's motto is "Fun sounds, serious craft." We promise the listener will not be bored; this CD is full of surprises. To our knowledge it's the first album ever to include theremin, pedal steel, musical saw, bass clarinet, glockenspiel, optigan, mbira, mandolin, accordion, banjo and washboard. The CD features cover art by the world famous comic book artist Geof Darrow ("The Matrix," "Hard Boiled" etc.) Geof's art is also featured on the disc itself which has been printed with a high-resolution thermal transfer process, creating a smooth image with rich blacks and greys like we've never seen before. And the first 500 discs are numbered!
