Walker, Charles 'poppy Bob'
Dirt Bike Vacation
'Dirt Bike Vacation' explores the sonic world of late amateur guitar player Charles Poppy Bob Walker through a captivating set of instrumental songs made in the mid-1980s. Recorded on a single-track Marantz field recorder, the project is a transportive document of Walker's days spent as a meatpacking employee in Yuma, Arizona and the dailiness of that existence. These sketches, showing an experimental tendency, are surprisingly ahead of their time; some exhibit ad hoc tape delay, while others make use of primitive overdubbing. Not dissimilar to works such as Bruce Langhorne's 'The Hired Hand' soundtrack, Walker's guitar playing is melodic, texturally rich and beautifully sober.
