xpatofthemind I love the diversity of styles on this album. In addition to showing his mastery of guitar-based genres like surf and punk, Lee's not afraid to color outside the lines, mixing in jazz, modern classical, and lots of indefinable in-betweens, all musically super interesting and engaging. Reminds me a little of Jessica Lurie at times.

Lee is not only a virtuoso player but a composer of shining originality. If you like guitar taken a little farther, this might be for you. Favorite track: The Earth Demon.

about

Chu Bubaloo is the third album from guitarist and composer John Lee. Recorded in September 2013, this album captures a dark transitional period in Lee’s life. In the thick of depression and a recent separation, Chu Bubabloo is an intriguing memoir about failure, success, and possibility of purpose. Elements of afrobeat, folk, indie, jazz, and surf rock tie together Chu Bubabloo into an epic searing guitar story.

Really glad I found this wonderful produced piece of art. I'd say it's kind of Jazz with eastern influenced melodies and the songs are quite diverse. It's a really nice combination of genres and entertaining. StrangeFlow
