Description/Reviews:
Horror, sci-fi and Cyberpunk legend John Shirley has teamed with guitar ace and musical dynamo Jerry King for a third album, ESCAPE FROM GRAVITY. Several of the songs on this album were adapted from poems appearing in John's 2021 poetry collection, The Voice of the Burning House. Like the previous Shirley/King collaborations, this album fearlessly explores mind-bending themes with virtuoso arrangements... Shirley's weird stories, lyrics and vocals will combine with Jerry King's music to melt your brain.
