Clunky Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Very nice disc, had it a week now, musical tourism of the jazz variety which works very nicely. Somehow reminds me of "The Black Saint and the sinner lady". Chicken or Beef title track is very strange perhaps it's a message I'm missing but I'm not sure it fits, but who am I ...,,,,,......
