Trench Warfare by Joe Diddley
TRENCH WARFARE is the dirge of the current, the current events and the current of the water. Looping and grating and never resolving, Joe Diddley has managed to find the pulse of the ether and reverberates it here. This is noisy, dense, and blue.

Twanging a single string for truth, justice, and the downtrodden, Joe Diddley reconstituted the dormant Strategic Air Command of the U.S. Air Force and began broadcasting strange blues recordings along the defunct Distant Early Warning radar installations near the arctic circle in 1958.
