Classic Album Review: Bob Log III | School Bus

The one-man band dishes up another hard-driving set of gonzo garage-blues.

This came out in 1998 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Arizona’s Bob Log III wears a “protective helmet” and claims to have a monkey’s paw for a fret hand.

Not surprisingly, his latest CD of lo-fi gonzo blues is just as spaced out. The one-man band frantically strums his guitar, stomps along on a bass drum and buries the vocals to his entrancingly freaky tunes — sample title: Land Of A Thousand Swinging Asses — under blankets of distortion. Bob’s bus may be out of control, but you definitely want to be along for the ride.
