'A Fistful of Desert Blues' is the bastard love child of two musical outlaws who were thrown together by mysterious circumstances at a friend's funeral. Lydia Lunch has spent decades trolling through the subterranean sick-home black and blues creating a musical legacy that started burning down the house in 1977 with Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, and continues today with the raunchy blues of super-group Big Sexy Noise. Cypress Grove is a travelling troubadour, notorious for skulking in the back alleys of low down dives and forgotten juke joints fighting to resuscitate the ghosts of the great Mississippi Blues Masters. 'A Fistful of Desert Blues' is a bittersweet symphony of black and acoustic love songs. As beautiful and heartbreaking as 12 wayward orphans who wandered in from the badlands searching for a home away from home, this collection showcases the ever-evolving gypsy shape shifter and her fellow musical vagabond as sonic caretakers offering comfort to those crushed by a love which bruises.
