Charles Dexter Ward And The Imagineers

Charles Dexter Ward & The Imagineers howl murderous blue tales and scream deep blue shanties about fighting ghosts, hunting witches, urchins and opium, while a wave of psychedelic fuzz washes over you as it passes through the souls of a thousand dead pirates. Charles Dexter Ward & The Imagineers sound like the bastard sons of Tom Waits wrestling with Led Zeppelin high on absinthe sailing on the high seas with only a broken pocket watch for direction. John Lee Hooker playing Kyuss if you will. Led by the screams of Az Malin and the searing lead guitar of Chris Harper all bound together by the thunderous rhythm section of Leigh Urquhart and Chris Harshtree.
