Hear the entire session and interview: http://soundcheck.wnyc.org/story/les-... • For more than 25 years, Primus has developed a devoted fanbase thanks to its distinct weirdo sensibility, hilarious lyrics, and high-octane instrumental prowess. At the center is frontman Les Claypool, Primus' dexterous, slap-happy bassist and spiritual leader, who has followed every absurdist musical whim and avant prog rock experiment from underground success to pop stardom. • But his latest project with Bryan Kehoe may be one of his oddest diversions yet -- at least based on Les Claypool standards: Duo de Twang plays acoustic music in the style of stripped-down, old-timey campfire songs and country tunes. What started as a one-off performance for San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival turned into a full record, Four Foot Shack. The album includes a originals, a couple reworked Primus classics ( Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver and Jerry Was A Race Car Driver ) -- and a few covers like Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive and Alice In Chains' Man In The Box. For a musician frequently shaking things up, Claypool's Duo de Twang is another fun twist. • Subscribe for more music videos • Subscribe to WNYC! • For more music, follow Soundcheck on Twitter at @Soundcheck.
