Jazz-Noise punk God Is My Co-Pilot have been around the block  They cranked out a ton of releases in the 90's then fell off the face of the earth, only to emerge in about 2018.  I know cuz I booked a show with them at Hank's in Brooklyn!

Anyway, this very first release of a long journey I picked up around the time it came out.  I liked the caterwaul then a little more than now.  The B-side covers the standard first done by James Crawford as "Jock-A-Mo." They call it "Iko" instead of the more common "Iko Iko" that Dr. John or the Grateful Dead would use.  Then they take on Mingus "Better Get It In Yr Soul" from Mingus Ah Um.

As for the originals, the opener was the one I remember, "4 Steps Down The Road To Trouble."  A counting song.  "I Pulled Up To The Park" is short and sweet.

A good start, but I think I prefered the band live.

Bob's public precursor to his own divorce has taken a strange turn in the public narrative over the years, whether reflecting domestic tranquility or turbulence.   Beyonc é  might tell you she flips pancakes or boils an egg to Blood On The Tracks on a Sunday morning.  Jakob Dylan might rail that ...
