Are You Shakespearienced? by Trip Shakespeare
Are You Shakespearienced? is an album by Trip Shakespeare, released in 2014. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Toolmaster of Brainerd”, on 1 list with a best position of #806.
Are You Shakespearienced? first came out in 1989 on Gark Records, a Minneapolis indie, and its 2014 reissue on Omnivore Recordings (after an earlier one on Clean/Twin/Tone in 1998) gives Trip Shakespeare's second album another shot at the ears it always deserved. The big change from the 1986 debut, Applehead Man, was a new face: Dan Wilson, brother of founding member and chief songwriter Matt Wilson, joined after that first record and made his debut here.
With two Wilsons in the room, the Minneapolis band's alternative rock turns brainy and big-hearted, full of stacked vocals and odd, wide-eyed storytelling, as the gloriously specific "Toolmaster of Brainerd" makes plain.
