Not unlike many sophomore efforts, Head In The Sand conjures a level of lyrical maturity and focus that differentiates it from its predecessor, almost confidently so. Make no mistake, however: a frantic ripper like “Storm’s Comin’ Tonight” reminds the listener to embrace the Dead-inspired choogle once again.

The Lagniappe Sessions :: Sean Thompson’s Weird Ears
Embrace the choogle. As far as summer jammers go, Sean Thompson’s ‘Weird Ears’ LP from last August continues to pay dividends as it slides from country to cosmic in the blink of an eye. Presently woodshedding material for his next full-length, we caught up with Thompson and co. from his Nashville home, cutting four tracks for his inaugural Lagniappe Session. Come for the Funkadelic cover, stay for the Kernal.
Sean Thompson’s Weird Ears :: S/T
Going from country to cosmic in the blink of an eye, the debut long-player from Sean Thompson’s Weird Ears will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step—guaranteed. The Nashville-based guitarist has established himself as a valued sideman over the years (you’ve heard him with Erin Rae, Eve Maret and Spencer Cullum as well as with the late/lamented Promised Land Sound), thanks to his tasty/tasteful six-string mastery.
