*Mike Watt is a workingman’s musician. Since earning a reputation as one of
the world’s most talented and creative bass players as a founding member of
seminal California punk band the Minutemen, Watt has stayed busy with an
overwhelming amount of projects. Whether playing as a member of legendary
Detroit rockers the Stooges or composing his various operas, Watt
injects his musical personality into everything he does. Look up Mike Watt
on Wikipedia and you’ll find a staggering number of albums, collaborations
(or "collabs”) with the likes of Nels Cline and Dave Grohl, and involvement
in too many bands (his own and others) to even keep track. Somehow the
56-year-old bass player has managed to maintain this prolific output and
keep his music exciting with his trademark style of unpredictable and
complex punk-funk playing.Watt’s current project – one of many he has going
at any given time – is no exception. Il sogno del marinaio, which means
"the sailor’s dream” in Italian, finds him teaming up once again
with Andrea Belfi and Stefano Pilia, a drummer and guitarist from Italy he
connected with and released an album, La Busta Gialla, in 2009. The
chemistry in the trio worked well enough both onstage and in the studio
that they decided to team up again for another album, the
recently released Canto Secondo, aptly translated to "second song.” Each
musician brought their own tracks to the table, giving the album a more
authentic sense of collaboration. The album as a whole feels experimental
and exploratory, but still flows along with Watt’s "econo” jamming. Canto
Secondo can drift into strange territory as the musicians stretch out and
search for new possibilities, but for longtime fans of Mike Watt it is yet
another interesting project from this titan of bass. *
