Back in 2005, Robert Johnson and Punchdrunks released the album ‘Taste the Whup at Oki-Dog’. After enjoying success on major rock stages, the band was reduced to a duo – Robert Johnson and Per Thorsell. Contrary to expectations, they began to explore electronic and dance music.
The phones stopped ringing. As if this weren’t defiant enough, they had an equal number of external producers and artists mix and produce every track on the album. The result was groundbreaking and challenging.
But what did the original tapes actually sound like – the album that the band had recorded? We’re about to find out. Together with his son, Gordon Presley, Robert Johnson has gently restored what remains. It’s a brilliant record.
Welcome to ’Taste the Whup at Oki-Dog’. Director’s Cut.
