The Axe Man...

"I just saw Ken Butler perform on the Tonight Show and the things he does with just regular household items and an amplifier is amazing. He's fitted strings to an axe, a shovel, a tennis racket, etc. along with other improvements and then plays them much as one would play a violin. He even played a knife, a toothbrush, and his zipper! The musical quality he achieved with some of these items (maybe not the zipper) was astounding, and the samples above (I've not heard the actual album) showed it off even better. I would reccomend this to anyone who wants to add a VERY interesting recording to their collection."

Thanks for correcting the titles

"I recently seen Ken's shows and he is one of the most unique and gifted artists I know of. I purchased his cd right after one of the shows and find it to be a wonderful piece. For those with large understanding and open minds, this music will feed your brain. However, Amazon mixed up this cd's song titles with some death metal or punk rock group's cd...none of those listed are on the cd and are quite offensive."
