Out now and available at the Bandcamp site. The second in a series of quarantine-induced home recordings from Jim McHugh, written(practically in real time) in response to some of the most crucial social issues surfacing today. Whereas the first of the series - the two-song 'For Big Floyd' - borrowed from other artists, this collection contains all original compositions.
McHugh's folk and punk leanings are as present as ever, as is a deep reverence for his sonic heroes. Here they range from Albert Ayler to Peter Laughner, from Leadbelly to Sonny Sharrock to his great-grandmother Ada Mitchell, a gifted instrumentalist on guitar, banjo and harmonica, which she taught Jim to play. The day before her death she presented Jim with her harmonica, having had a premonition of her passing - thusly sealing his fate as a musician by age six.
BLACK LIVES MATTER NYC and BLACK LIVES MATTER NASHVILLE will receive all funds generated by the sale of this release. Proceeds from all JM/Centripetal Force collaborations benefit grassroots organizations committed to radical change in the name of equality, liberation and the end of capitalism. This is true whenever the music is sold -- not just when Bandcamp waives its profit share.
