TOM BURRIS - "Boxes" (1987)

I was always happy whenever I got a tape in the mail from Tom Burris! That's just how his music affected you! IF an early Bob Dylan had The Velvet Underground instead of The Band backing him up, that's what "Boxes" sounds like to me!

According to my notes, I sent Tom our first tape right before Christmas in 1987. It was either "Boxes" or "Bombarded With Flowers" he sent me in return! It doesn't really matter! Everything he sent me was always fun to listen to! Hear for yourself!!

Most of the songs on this tape have vocals, but here's a bonus instrumental just because I like it a lot!

A Short History!

In the late 80's and early 90's, Brian James Riedel, Gary Wray, and myself had a lot of weekend garage music get togethers, and after the advent of fairly inexpensive drum machines and four tracks, we started taping the stuff we were doing as a band called Hermanos Guzanos. One year I met Bob X's brother Johnny Primitive at the San Diego Com Con and he told me he was having pretty good results making cassettes and sending them to college radio stations! I started sending and receiving cassettes and magazines to artists all over the world. The rest is history! My collection is in the 100's, so get ready for a wild and wooly ride! There's some great music still out there that has been heard by so few, but I'm going to do my little part to change that some!
