What does Chet Lyster have to do with R. Mutt you ask? Well, in addition to his many illustrious guitar slinging duties, he also happens to have some mad music mixing chops. Kevin brought Chet to our project after working with him successfully on the last two Sassparilla records as well as Hillstomps' 2014 release, Portland, Ore.
Working remotely from his secret bunker in the Pacific Northwest, between legs of the current Jayhawks tour, Chet is being guided by Kevin to transform the angry bewailing that is R. Mutt into a mellifluous, auditory offering suitable for the ears of the masses.
We have not had the opportunity or pleasure of meeting or speaking with Chet, but we are told he is generally enjoyable to be around.
