Fisherman's.com

The funk/jazz/metal album of Japanese sea shantys you didn't know you needed! Akira Sakata is a revelation here, but the man who drew me to this set is the guitarist Pete Cosey, a brilliant player who few people seem to know about. Listen to the man take the guitar into dark, distorted, and funky territory as he backs Sakata on this incredible jams. Well worth your time. browncoatradio
