None
Notes:
An Amorphous track in the funk/blues vein, slide guitars and
harmonica battle against a funky distorted organ. First heard on
the 2nd May 2004 SixMix broadcast. The piece is named after the
harmonica player Billy 'the Onion' Jones. Gaz explains:
"grooving on the gig by the reformed Magic Band the previous
week which had featured their very own Gary Lucas on guitar
(Captain Beefheart, Jeff Buckley) - those swamping harmonica
fulled blues had worked their magic into the Amorphous membrane -
when Billy 'The Onion' Jones turned up in a pub in Swindon with a
harmonica the perfect excuse was born to release the itch caused
by the Captain's reformed band - Gary Lucas layered down some
gloriously wicked bottleneck stomp, Billy obligingly blew a huge
harmonica riff all over it and the FSOL production gizmo set to
work to create a sonic swampson of Delta proportion!!"
