''Walk on Jindal's Splinters'' is a live album by Jello Biafra and The Raunch and Soul All-Stars, a group of Southern musicians assembled especially for the occasion by Dash Rip Rock's Bill Davis and Cowboy Mouth's Fred LeBlanc. The album title is a play on the Dr. John song "I Walk on Gilded Splinters" meant to insult Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal. ==Album History== The live performance captured on this recording resulted from Davis and LeBlanc inviting Biafra to perform a variety of New Orleans soul classics with a loose congregation of musicians during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.〔(Jello Biafra and the Raunch And Soul All-Stars, ''Walk on Jindal's Splinters'' ) alternativetentacles.com, retrieved May 10, 2015〕 Biafra encouraged Davis and LeBlanc to include some New Orleans-related garage rock songs in the set as well as an Alex Chilton cover to honor the then-recently-deceased singer. The all-star backing band includes Pepper Keenan (Corrosion of Conformity, Down) on guitar, Pete "Wet Dog" Gordon (formerly of Mojo Nixon's backing band The Toadliquors, who had previously played with Biafra on his 1994 collaboration with Nixon, ''Prairie Home Invasion''), and a horn section organized by Morning 40 Federation baritone saxophonist Josh Cohen that included members of both Morning 40 Federation and Egg Yolk Jubilee.〔(Alternative Tentacles Batcast #119 ), alternativetentacles.com, retrieved May 10, 2015〕 The live multi-track recording, initially thought to be unusable after a rough reference mix was completed〔 and other technical issues (the introduction of the band's rendition of Jessie Hill's "Ooh Poo Pah Doo" was not recorded, a mistake apologized for on the album's liner notes〔Liner notes to ''Walk on Jindal's Splinters'', author unattributed but presumed to be Jello Biafra〕), were successfully edited and mixed down by producer/engineer Ben Mumphrey, who had attended the show and offered his services to Biafra for the project. Mumphrey did the editing and mixing on his own downtime at Studio in the Country in Washington Parish, Louisiana (where he is the facility's general manager and chief engineer) between other commitments.〔 The album's release was preceded by a seven-inch single (Alternative Tentacles's first single release with a jukebox hole) featuring renditions of Buster Brown's "Fannie Mae" and Rosco Gordon's "Just a Little Bit", released on April 14, 2015. The 45 was originally planned to be issued on Record Store Day, but was rejected because Record Store Day's organizers were deemphasizing seven-inch singles in that year's promotion;〔 Alternative Tentacles semi-facetiously claimed on their website that Record Store Day had found the 45 "too hot to handle",〔(Jello Biafra and The Raunch & Soul All-Stars "Fannie Mae"/"Just a Little Bit" ), alternativetentacles.com, retrieved May 10, 2015〕 and issued the single, already planned to be packaged in a generic brown 45 sleeve in homage to independent R&B and rock 45s of the late 50s and early 60s, with a large sticker reading "REJECTED BY RECORD STORE DAY".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walk on Jindal's Splinters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
