"Gary Lucas, who is well known for his work with Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, is an incredibly talented and versatile NYC-based guitarist/singer/songwriter who has earned a worldwide following in his own right over the last several years. Lucas has been hailed for his brilliant solo guitar work, the long-standing band Gods and Monsters (based around Lucas' guitar and songwriting encompassing almost every style imaginable) and his work with many other outstanding musicians, including contributing songs and guitar playing for major label debut albums from Jeff Buckley and Joan Osborne. Lucas is moving beyond his reputation as one of the most innovative guitarists in the world today to firmly establish himself as a composer and Grammy-nominated songwriter. His new album, The Edge Of Heaven - Gary Lucas Plays Mid-Century Chinses Pop, is a tribute to the Chinese divas Chow Hsuan and Bai Kwong."

Title:	Street of Lost Brothers
Label:	TZADIK
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TZ 7145

"Another brilliant collection of scintillating originals and Jewish classics from the unique and twisted mind of guitar madman Gary Lucas. Gary's first release for Tzadik was a delightful and uproarious collection for children. With Street of Lost Brothers, Gary has turned to the dark side. Dances, dirges, and doinas for Gary's versatile touring band, with special guest appearances by insane vocalists Kenny and Larry, sax squealer John Zorn, and Walter Horn."
