and Jeff Buckley. Throughout, Lucas has shown a dogged determination to never repeat himself. Indeed, listening to this rarities collection and de facto retrospective, one can almost hear the musician reinventing himself on each cut. Whether working acoustic or electric guitar, the Yale English Literature grad shows an uncanny ability to conjure and embellish new musical languages, from Beefheart's tortuous "Flavour Bud Living" (recorded live on the Magic Band's final tour) to the smoky Latin fire of the Elli Medeiros-vocalized "Dulce" to a loopy, bluegrass inflected reinvention of the "Astro Boy" theme with Holy Modal Rounder Peter Stampfel. Other standout collaborations feature D.J. Spooky ("Golgotha"), Nick Cave ...  (less)
