Thrills (1998)

AB: “Thrills is a good time. It is from the time when I had just gotten my conceptual shit together. We had fun making it and I think you can hear it. Jimbo Mathus was really locking in with Kevin and me and Josh. We were happily and unapologetically into that early 20th century thing, 3-penny opera, Calypso, Slim and Slam, Charlie Patton, the weirder corners of it, and we recorded the whole thing to one or two microphones, old-school. We were running around New Orleans having a time, Jimbo in his jellies and basketball jersey. The first record we made with NOLA native Mike ‘Nappy’ Napolitano.”
