Criminally under-appreciated in the U.S., Jimmy Agren is one of the finest and most innovative slide guitarists on the planet - not just in his native Sweden. The younger brother of astonishing drummer and composer Morgan Agren (of the cutting-edge Mats/Morgan Band), Jimmy shares the Zappesque/Beefheartian vision that resulted in a 1995 'Music of Captain Beefheart' project with Zappa guitarist Denney Walley. Glass Finger Ghost, from 2001, fills out this vision even further. The level of musicianship is truly mindblowing, with Morgan's crazed drumming, Jimmy's phenomenal slide guitar (as well as harmonica, mandolin, and percussion), and vocals shared by Jimmy, Freddie Wadling, and Magnus Olsson. The marvellously warped Beefheartian lyrics are Jimmy's, too. Agren has at least three other albums that that are equally exciting and, if you like Zappa, the Captain, and King Crimson, deserve your attention.
