Terry Eason, Bees Will Bumble

Local guitar wizard Eason’s been a reliable source of six-string zing for two decades now, both fronting his own projects and backing guys like Chan Poling and Dylan Hicks. Bees Will Bumble, his second disc in less than a year, forms a loose zoological trilogy with last year’s Elephant Garden and the forthcoming The Aching of the Household Fly. As always, he covers a lot of musical ground, from straight-ahead rock to psychedelia to XTC-style pop (and even some country slide on “Hurricane Hill”), and does it well. The title track features guest violin by Prairie Home Companion stalwart Peter Ostroushko, whose brother Taras has played bass with Eason for years. Catch him at the 7th Street Entry July 30.
