wolfgang923Aber Howie Gelb hat´s gebracht? Besser kann man sein Geschwafel ( Magnet (July 1997) ) nicht ad absurdum führen.
Tu mir den Mann nicht in Dreck ziehen, der kann nix dafür:
(…)The new album also welcomes aboard Manning’s dream back-up band, the Giant Sand rhythm section of bassist Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino. Manning recently took the duo on a brief tour of New Zealand. „That was a present to myself,“ says Manning. „I hooked up with the guitarist from the Clean, David Kilgour, and Graeme Downes from the Verlaines. We played both islands and recorded seven brand new songs for the next album.“
Latching onto Burns and Convertino was a refreshing tonic for a bad experience Manning and her sister Terri had touring Europe in 1992 with the Silos. „They were mean, ugly, American guys who put pornography up in the van,“ she says. „They were horrible to us. They were animals and I never want to see them again. Terri and I were a little leery when we were offered a tour of the East Coast, riding in the van with Giant Sand. But they were great. They treated us like we were their little sisters. We really connected.“
The recent joyful antipodean experience with Burns and Convertino helped Manning see into the furnace room of her art. „I used to think my muse was living this dark well of sorrow and heartbreak,“ she says. „But now I realize my muse is flying way above me. And it’s always there, in painful times and in happy times. It’s very liberating.“
