March toward Depression in grand company. Tijuana Hercules’s The Almanack of Bad Luck makes the Book of Job look like a cakewalk. Wallow in your sorrow with this Americana junkyard orchestra of wandering gypsies. A brass band, wah-wah diddley bow, electric washboard, Jew’s harp, and kettle drums surround the nightmare observations of multi-instrumentalist/singer/composer John Vernon Forbes. This beautifully gloomy new release is Tijuana Hercules’s 2nd full-length album, after several EP’s, compilations, and a 45. The Almanack of Bad Luck: Despair never sounded so good.
