Howe Gelb - 7 Inches of 'Sno'

Very limited double pack vinyl single. Two stand out tracks from the CD/DVD package ‘Sno Angel - Winging It’  -  “Nail In The Sky” + “Worried Spirits”; coupled with re-renderings of a pair of Giant Sand numbers in “Neon Filler” + “Chore Of Enchantment”. All tracks feature Howe and his Canadian based ‘Sno Angel touring band backed by the Voices Of Praise choir. Lead track “Nail In The Sky” is pure Howe, playful lyrics, a subtle sigh in the voice and those chords picked out just so, providing that fine patina that coats the best of Howe’s sonic wardrobe, and with a chorus to rival Neil Young at his most populist. The remaining tracks finds Gelb and band taking a more bluesy rocking direction  on a cover of Rainer’s “Worried Spirits”, whilst Howe’s Americana-beatnik persona is more to the fore on “Neon Filler”, and the Voices Of Praise provide a fitting crescendo on the closing “Chore Of Enchantment”.
