(KP Group) Eddie Spaghetti, lead singer and bass player for legendary rock-n-roll renegades, The Supersuckers, has just crapped out the follow up to his critically acclaimed and surprisingly successful first solo album, The Sauce. It's called Old No. 2 and it's more of the same for Eddie. Only Better! Recorded once again at Studio Litho in Seattle with engineer and co-producer David Fisher, Spaghetti "went all crazy" and indulged himself with 5 whole days to record and mix Old No. 2. (one more than The Sauce!) Michael Murderburger returns on drums and percussion and Spaghetti also up and splurged for
a ringer to help make it sound "more like real music" (as he puts it). The incredible, multi-talented comic genius, Jordan Shapiro was flown in all the way from
Los Angeleez, California,! Mr. Shapiro lends his guitar, dobro and pedal steel talents to Old No. 2, making it bigger and even sweeter than The Sauce. Old No.
2 once again showcases Spaghetti's impeccable song selection with covers ranging from Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan to AC/DC and Tom Waits as well as his
ability to make up his own songs that hang with (and sometimes outshine) the classics. Old No. 2 is a must have for Supersuckers fans and fans of good music in general. You will play this record to your kid's kids. It's an instantaneously timeless classic.
Look for Old No. 2 in-stores on October 18, 2005 with a solo tour to follow. If you can't wait until October, you can catch Eddie in a rare solo performance on
Thursday, July 28 at Dante's in Portland, OR as well as select Supersuckers dates with Pearl Jam in September.
