Trekky Records welcomes Phil Cook & His Feat!

We are thrilled to officially welcome Phil Cook & His Feat to the Trekky Records family! Phil's new record Hungry Mother Blues will be released on May 10, 2011 in our signature 3-part package, featuring a vinyl record, CD and MP3 download.

We met Phil Cook five years ago, when our house band Auxiliary House played a show with Phil's band Megafaun. We became fast friends from the very beginning, sharing an ecstatic love for the experience of music. Over the years, we've collaborated in many ways, but since Megafaun already has an amazing home at Hometapes, we never were able to work together directly. When Phil started recording and performing as Phil Cook & His Feat, both parties saw the opportunity to collaborate. Phil asked us to release his new record, Hungry Mother Blues and we replied with a breathless "yes".

Hungry Mother Blues was recorded in a single day, during a rare North Carolina ice storm, in the back room of Phil's house. Its a beautiful, completly intrumental album that showcases what Phil does best: playing unbelievably complex songs with so much soul that they sound effortless. The vinyl record will be pressed at 45RPM for maximum sound quality, and the record jacket features original art from Catherine Edgerton of Midtown Dickens. We're offering a free download of "Ballad Of A Hungry Mother" to tide you over until the May 10 release date. Album cover and tracklisting below!
