Realizing a career-long ambition, The Residents finally explore the blues! Having been turned on to the music of lost bluesman Alvin Snow, a.k.a. Dyin' Dog, the group presents their interpretations of all ten of Snow's known recordings, alongside several new compositions inspired by his work. ' Metal, Meat & Bone' sees The Residents perform alongside several collaborators: Eric Drew Feldman, Nolan Cook, Black Francis, Carla Fabrizio, Sivan Lioncub and Peter Whitehead all contribute. This 2CD contains 26 tracks and comes with an extensive hardcover book, which includes a Dyin'Dog biography and images.
