Purple Onion - Buzzards of Green Hill w/ Louis Ortega
from Primus Tracks · host Josh, Frankie, & Soya
Frequent bass contributor Louis Ortega returns to model and explain the hooks behind Buzzards of Green Hill, Frankie's favorite track from the album, and perhaps his top Claypool track. This one seems to be the backwoods hick Claypool that had shone through with some Primus material, but takes the wheel here for a (sober, we hope) drive out in the county. Lyrically, we contrast drunk driving and nursery rhyme motifs; the latter likely a result of Claypool having toddlers at the time, and the former from Les observing the world around him. Some killer live cuts accompany this episode!Find Louis on InstragramGet involved:InstagramFacebookEmailBurn your money Get involvedInstagramFacebookEmailBurn your money
