Blues for the Red Sun

Released

The album that launched thousands of stoner rock bands – a few hundred of which also featured Kyuss’s John Garcia, Josh Homme, Nick Oliveri, and Brant Bjork. Sporting vastly improved production over their debut, Wretch, their sophomore smoke signal set the template for just about everything that followed on “Green Machine” and “50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up).” This fuzzed-out walkabout through the desolate Southern California desert still delivers the same buzz.
