Alan Taylor of 'Mungomania" writes…
Good God, this is fun!!! What am I talking about? The first new CD to come from our old friend Paul King since 1995 is what! Recorded live in Cornwall in October 2004 as Skeleton Crew, with his old buddies, Colin ‘BRM’ Pattenden (bass/vocals) and Jeff Ward (guitar/washboard), SCRAPING THE BONE is undoubtedly jug band music at its very best and screams at you that he’s been away for far too long.

After leaving the King Earl Boogie Band after their successful appearance at the 1996 Cropredy Festival and ‘retiring’ to the West Country to renovate an old barn, ‘Kingy’ has now got the bug again and is back with a vengeance with almost 22 minutes of good-time classics including several old ‘Crew’ and indeed Mungo standards, such as ‘Keep Your Hands Off Her’, ‘We Shall Be Free’ and ‘Midnight Special’, as well as ’38 Plug’, Bob Dylan’s ‘She Belongs To Me’ and Canned Heat’s, ‘Going Up The Country’.

There is a great rendition of one my all time favourite Skeleton Crew numbers, the bluesy ‘King Bee’, with Paul confirming that his harp playing is still second to none, and Colin on bass and Jeff with some tasty slide and occasional washboard give Paul great support throughout the set.

As live recordings go, this is as good as it gets, and the sound is crystal clear and very vibrant and bright on what we hope will be the first of a series of ‘fans only’ recordings from our ‘Cornish King’.

January 2005.

The entire 'Zodiac' concept album brought together in one great package of 5 masters and 13 original 'demos' with Paul playing solo.
