Eugene Chadbourne, Rogier Smal - Green Like Mama Ganja

Review by Shivaji Varma

Green Like Mama Ganja, the collaborative album by Eugene Chadbourne and Rogier Smal, is a unique and experimental musical journey that defies categorization. The album features Chadbourne's distinctive guitar playing and vocals, combined with Smal's innovative percussion techniques, resulting in a sound that is both intriguing and challenging.

The album opens with "Weed Country," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its unconventional instrumentation and use of sound effects. "Green Like Mama Ganja," the title track, features Chadbourne's raspy vocals and Smal's frenzied drumming, creating a sense of urgency and chaos.

Other standout tracks include "Bend in the River," which showcases Chadbourne's virtuosic guitar playing, and "Death Valley," a haunting and atmospheric piece that is both eerie and beautiful.
