{"product_id":"fist-full-of-devils","title":"Fist Full Of Devils","description":"\u003cp\u003eGuitarist \u003cstrong\u003eEarl Slick\u003c\/strong\u003e never had a Plan B. Still doesn't. In fact, he doesn't believe in backup plans. \"If you have a backup plan,\" said the guitarist who for decades worked alongside rock royalty including David Bowie and John Lennon among others, \"then eventually you become the backup plan.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhich explains -- and fuels -- Slick's new album, \u003cem\u003eFistful of Devils\u003c\/em\u003e. Harnessing his musical roots as a child of the 60s when blue-based rock pushed its way to the front of the line and incorporating his decades as one of the most sought-after touring musicians in the business, \u003cem\u003eFistful\u003c\/em\u003e is Slick as he's been from the start: an artist who fully mines the depths of the blues and guitar by drawing on a toolkit assembled from blues to glam to punk to rockabilly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11-track album is no retread retrospective of Slick's run of 40 years as a professional guitarist; it's an audible demonstration of a virtuoso still pushing deep into rock and roll's blues roots. The instrumental album, Slick says, is acrobatics without a net. Some of the tracks on \u003cem\u003eFistful\u003c\/em\u003e were ideas that had been rattling around in his heart for decades. Some were wholly new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat lifelong journey from Brooklyn didn't leave him empty-handed; he brought back the prizes, the tricks, the scars, the influences, and the tools from a road that never presented a detour. Or an end. He's a man, after all, who knows a thing or two about persevering, about long shots and locked-in trajectories. Perseverance also had no backup plan when it was launched. It had to get there. \"I am,\" Slick said. \"Exactly where I should be.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schnitzel","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50411607851339,"sku":"1121066","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4bef5427-81c7-4298-af89-dccaf842d400_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726660629","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/fist-full-of-devils","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
