Hans Chew - Tennesee & Other Stories…
DBZ-002, DBZ-002rp
We are proud as punch to annouce "Tennessee & Other Stories…", the first full length release from Hans Chew. While Chew is best known as the honky-tonk pianist and auxiliary vocalist behind Brooklyn's psychedelic Americana outfit D. Charles Speer & the Helix (including his lead vocal turns on both "Life Insurance" off "Distillation" and "Bar-Abbas Blues" off the "In Madagascar" 7"), his skill as a piano player has also previously been on prominent display in support to both Jack Rose (appearing on both "The Black Dirt Sessions" and "Luck In The Valley," as well as contributing as a member of Jack's live band at Arthurdesh in 2009) and Oakley Hall. Chew's playing and skill have thrived during his time living in New York City, but prior to his move he spent several years of musical gestation honing his skills as a piano player in residence at Atlanta's infamous Clermont Hotel. "Tennessee & Other Stories…" was born out of that residency where many of these songs were written there in the middle of the night in a dingy third-floor hotel room.
While the first edition of "Tennessee & Other Stories…" sold out, we have fresh copies of a repress in stock! The repress features the same gorgeous artwork from Melodie Provenzano as the original, sans gatefold. The album is accompanied by a download coupon for DRM-free MP3s of the album. This record is a joint release between Three Lobed and Divide By Zero. Like the original pressing, the repress is limited to 500 copies.
