 I played Black Cow on the radio last night. 

“One of things that I really like about BSAC is that you can dance to the music yet it is also deep head thinking music and great stoner music and always interesting in terms of beats, arrangement, and production.  This one has all that and sometimes is so in the future that it is beyond the culture currently.  I played Black Cow on the radio last night.  That song has deep emotional meaning for me in the original and in your version too.  Thanks for putting it on there.  "So outrageous ..."  ~David Kunian WWOZ New Orleans

an intense, amazing experience

"Listening/watching Burnt Sugar playing live is an intense, amazing experience.  A band of equals, where every single unique note is part of the game.  If there existed a place where Sun Ra’s Arkestra would meet George Clinton’s Funkadelic/Parliament it's there you will find Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber.”
