Gary Lucas - Cinefantastique [CD]

Having composed for both film and television over his 20 plus album career to date, Gary Lucas turns towards some of his favorite film music composers here with a solo album, all arranged and performed (except for one piece) for solo guitar, without overdubs. "Since 2009, world-class guitarist Gary Lucas has played a live (and mostly improvised) score...often to sold-out venues around the world...You may know of the Grammy-nominated guitarist and songwriter, who co-managed and collaborated with Captain Beefheart in the 1970s and worked with Leonard Bernstein, Nick Cave, and Lou Reed. Lucas' New York band Gods and Monsters included then-little-known Jeff Buckley, with whom Lucas co-wrote a few songs on the late singer's only studio album, 1994's classic Grace. Lucas premiered the Dracula live soundtrack in Havana, and has even taken the show to just outside a castle in Transylvania." - LA WEEKLY
