Maty’s Corner #27 Duane Peters and the Great Unwashed
Maty’s Corner #27 Duane Peters and the Great Unwashed Review Coming out in 2012 was Duane Peters and The Great Unwashed. A bit of a one off side project from the master of disaster.

It’s out and out punk blues with a lot of great piano and even a bit of harmonica, a definite departure from other music that Duane has put out. Most of lyrics sound like lost writings from Charles Bukowski’s urban genius. The two big stand outs for me are Coffee In The Kitchen … Continue reading Maty’s Corner #27 Duane Peters and the Great Unwashed
