Col. Bruce Hampton & the Aquarium Rescue Unit - Mirrors of Embarassment [1993]

Col. Bruce Hampton & the Aquarium Rescue Unit - Mirrors of Embarassment [1993]

Bruce Hampton, very late of the Hampton Grease Band, has learned to let it all stretch and flow, and, boy, does it flow. This sophomore set is a treat and a half, filled with jazzy grooves that get bluesy and then rocky, only to stand up and toss Bela Fleck out front for a banjo attack on "Too Many Guitars." It's relaxed, smart, fun music with big fat friendly shouter vocals from the Colonel.

COL. BRUCE HAMPTON & THE AQUARIUM RESCUE UNIT - 1991

Col. Bruce Hampton & the Aquarium Rescue Unit - self-titled [1991]

Recorded live at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, Georgia, Col. Bruce Hampton & the Aquarium Rescue Unit serve up their unique brand of party music. Mix together some Southern rock, some blues, some funk, a little jazz, and a touch of psychedelia, and that's what you'll find on this enjoyable live set. Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit tell real-world, blue-collar tales in a guitar-dominated sonic environment with Jimmy Herring (guitar), Oteil Burbridge (bass, vocals), and Chuck Leavell (piano, organ) making notable contributions. The Colonel himself plays some guitar and takes the lead vocals in a manner that is better described as rhythmic shouting rather than singing. Highlights of the album include the groovy "Yield Not To Temptation," and the free form, improvisational "Quinius Thoth," but it is "Basically Frightened" which truly captures the essence of the band as a fun, eclectic, rocking good time.

* = w/Drew Emmett (Leftover Salmon) on fiddle
+ = w/Mark Vann (Leftover Salmon) on banjo

Leftover Salmon opened up for the ARU on this night

Col Bruce dedicates most of the show to Nancy Kerrigan

Anyway, a couple of the Leftover Salmon guys sat in for some jammin' with the ARU in the 2nd set, which was a nice bonus.

The ARU continued on for a year or 2 after Col. Bruce left, but the magic was sort of gone. No matter how strong and masterful each of the members are on their instruments, Col. Bruce gave the band its special chemistry.
