Zubot & Dawson - Chicken Scratch
Strange instrumental string music is what they play, leading gifted fiddler-mandolinist Jesse Zubot and virtuoso guitarist (slide, Hawaiian, Weissenborn) Steve Dawson to dub their style “strang.” Twisted takes on blues, bluegrass and western swing is what it is—tasty too. “The Chomp” is feverish, fiddle-fuelled jazz-funk, while “Paloma” is delirious, slide-driven gypsy music. But the Vancouver duo’s best track is “The King of America,” a haunting guitar-fiddle duet of breathtaking beauty and simplicity.
