Sonny Sharrock Space Ghost Coast to Coast Release Date: 1996 Label: Cartoon Network Electric guitarist Sharrock recorded these seven short pieces about six months before he passed away. They comprise the theme for the cartoon talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast, an adaptation of the theme, and five free-form jams, rock oriented, with drummer Lance Carter and Sharrock. Vocalist Alfreda Gerald adds oohs and ahhs on the "Hit Single" theme and "Ghost Planet National Anthem" remix. Sharrock is on fire for this brief but tasty excursion. He's more melodic on the anthems, free and loose, responding to Carter's solid rhythms. "Cinnamon Ghost" is the theme adaptation, Sharrock's guitar cutting in and out while he darts and flashes with gargantuan chordal and single-line handfuls of raw power on the completely improvised "Out to Launch," "Fear of a Ghost Planet," and "Rocket 99." This CD is a limited edition item, not available in stores, and is about 20 minutes in length, but essential for Sharrock devotees.
