A new Col. Bruce Hampton album is a definite treat. My excitement is caused by his rich musical history, a solid sense of musicianship and a wonderful touch of weirdness. Well known for putting together amazing bands like The Hampton Grease Band, Late Bronze Age, and The Aquarium Rescue Unit, The Colonel's newest aggregation, The Quark Alliance, joins songwriters Jeff Caldwell, Kris Dale (Squidbillies) and Mark Letalien with The Colonel to grow from a new branch to the Hampton musical tree.
