With him comes a patk. l!lf talent, "like a little review all cram.med into one van," he said. The owner of Detroit is a friend of Bauer's and used to the work with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

"Keep it Coming." The album, put out by Fat Possum, was touted as the "perfect combination of hill-country blues an big city , WKEN: 8:30 p.m. Su nday rock" by critic and Conner non· fan Andria Usle. Others say the album, whipl was recorded in Bauer's East Village studio, has "an intelicatingly woozy pedal-steel tone." The inrrigue of blues and its almost criminal aspect drew Bauer to the music scene, as did autobiograplµcal tales from his trumpet-and harmonica-playing father. · "My father tried to get me to play the sax, but it's too much work." he said.
