Deep Cuts“Rice With The Angels” by Hellborg/Lane/Sipe (2002)

🎸 🔥
Some Level 10 stuff here from a sort of supergroup I don’t see mentioned much.
Jonas Hellborg (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Material) on bass, Jeff Sipe (Aquarium Rescue Unit) on drums, and Shawn Lane (Black Oak Arkansas) absolutely shredding on guitar.
All three are amazing individually but, man, they really came together as a trio.
