For more than 25 years, Primus has developed a devoted fanbase thanks to its distinct weirdo sensibility, hilarious lyrics, and high-octane instrumental prowess. At the center is frontman Les Claypool, Primus' dexterous, slap-happy bassist and spiritual leader, who has followed every absurdist musical whim and avant prog rock experiment from underground success to pop stardom.
But his latest project with Bryan Kehoe may be one of his oddest diversions yet -- at least based on Les Claypool standards: Duo de Twang plays acoustic music in the style of stripped-down, old-timey campfire songs and country tunes. What started as a one-off performance for San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival turned into a full record, Four Foot Shack. The album includes a originals, a couple reworked Primus classics ("Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver" and "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver") -- and a few covers like Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" and Alice In Chains' "Man In The Box." For a musician frequently shaking things up, Claypool's Duo de Twang is another fun twist.

Give the camera dude a medal.

The lack of focus on the fretboard has always been intentional!
Les is more!

Best comment ever!
Nothin is everything!
I like how he sounds like he's edging all the time lol
BOW BIDDY BOW BOW

Les Claypool is the man! Got to see him and Primus as my first concert when I was 15 in 95 and will never forget it!!
I can imagine these characters because I live in a hillbilly hell

That bass line is stuck in my HEAD.
Claypool is brilliant. I don't always like what he's doing, but its pure genius.
Les and his crew have always dictated coolness. It just takes the rest of humanity awhile to catch up. Les claypool for president of everything cool in the universe.... Can I get at least one fuck ya?

Kehoe is a beast!!
Claypool never ceases to amaze me with these ambitious projects because he never disappoints! I'll give Jason a big FUCK YA! by the way.
Awesome
LOVE it!
I spoke to Les on South Street in Philadelphia…he was eating a slice of pizza 🍕 across the street from the TLA Theater 🎭 Of Living Arts…. “Living arts” The theatre of Life should have been the title if that’s the case aye… may say sun ray sunshine on a beautiful forgotten day he gone
I saw Primus in early 90s when I lived in Seattle! Awesome mini concert! I can’t believe Metallica wouldn’t give him a job!
They didnt give him a job because Les wasnt their style
James recognized greatness and knew les needed his own thing.
Wasn’t from lack of talent dude he’s just Les and he can’t help that. Primus sucks.
I'm very glad they didn't
Fun fact for my first gig ever I played this song infront of 100 people
Con boy….. jajajajaja prove it….or your history is erased. We’re in the age of data

What was the reaction? Did they "get" it? How was your performance in terms of playing guitar?
Dig it
KEHOE!
Reminds me of Tom Waits
They both should collabs for one song💥💥
@@rohspeed Tom Waits and Les have collaborated on multiple projects together.

Daniel Blanco R the best kid rock song
@@YorK944MH the song your referring to is 'Bawittabah'.
Fuck yeah!
Wow for the first time, the bass is way more audible than the guitar lmao.
Like I always say: 'Les is more'

Does anyone know where the Bass tab might be for this song? Thanks
Google "Redstate Girl Bass tab"
Roger J Doucet Wow bet he never thought of doing that!
The original is on a frettless upright so look up the duo da twang version
We get it you play bass too
This song is relevant. Very relevant.
I want the transcript for the gold at 2:15.
Rock the F on
So blue state girl coming out any time soon
No
@@thomasblasingame8463 I know they wouldn’t be able to handle it!

........balpitibowbow
Ryhi
How original LESS.
Ready for a Kamala Harris song.
Good song, bad mix. The vocals are way loud compared to the other instruments. The bass shouldn't totally outshine the guitar, either. If Les is going to do the same bass line through most of the song, then let the guitar breath some more.
BucksStudent I personally choose this recording over the studios final mix. something about the bass just pounding on my ear drum makes this sound only more incredible.
vlad P Why are you replying to a comment from 2014?
BucksStudent to talk to the past i guess...
Sounds perfect to me, guitar is overvrated. How about letting the bass show its shit for once.
@@LetMeGoForever Same reason I am, I disagree and you posted it to a public forum. Les = bass. When he plays, the bass is the lead. Either way, I hear the guitar just fine on my headphones. BOWBIPPITYBOWBOW
It's really sad he stereotypes and "went there"...against Sarah Palin..Like,
Really? If you write a song with her she is immortal, just saying'....
Vice Isms - I love Sarah Palin. What the media did to her was criminal
Les knows that most of the people that like his music are rural types, It's all in good fun.
@@joesmith3501 What the media DID?? Are you serious? She’s a dim-wit...just like the rest of her inbred clan and she got what she deserved. And save your comments tRumpers...I don’t wanna make you feel dumber than you are
awful just awful
The guitar player is so bad.
