Tinfoil hat

"His singing and guitar work is always a treat, but here, because of the pandemic, he handles all of the instruments. His backing tracks for himself are strong; I didn't realize he played everything himself until I got to the liner notes. And he rips some gorgeous solos. "No Justice No Peace," a blues metal tune, has a scorch-the-earth solo. And "Can I Call You My Friends," with some intense drums, in pure rock and roll, sounding like a bluesy Foo Fighters. It's also Chubby's strongest vocal performance of the album. Tinfoil Hat comes out of Chubby's personal experiences of the pandemic. He was on the road in Florida when his tour abruptly ended, forcing him to drive back to his New York home base. Like so many, he was stuck at home with nothing to do, so he channeled that energy into this album. And even if the execution isn't for everyone, you have to appreciate an artist putting themselves out there, creating music out of tragedy, and sharing their world view with us".
