Loving The Alien- Athens, GA salutes David Bowie
Taking Bowie's great tunes- what Dylan referred to as "Rock-N-Roll with lipstick"- and adding Athens-style twists and turns, Bowie's classic tunes are seasoned by some of Athen's more wigged out Bowie interpreters of the electronic rock and folk persuasions. Well-known and lesser-known gems are played by Athens artists such as Born To Worry, The Quiet Men, Mime, Ceiling Fan and Robert Lurie.
