| Riddles Are Abound Tonight | Riddles Are Abound Tonight is an album by Sausage, a band comprised of the original lineup of the California Bay Area group Primus: bass guitarist/vocalist Les Claypool, guitarist Todd Huth, and drummer Jay Lane. The album was released in April, 1994. The band followed the album with a short tour, opening for Helmet and Rollins Band. With Claypool's signature intricate bass lines and droning nasal lyrics, this album sounds much like early '90s Primus. (references) | ||
