Danny, Tabor, Elise, and Neal are the Widow Babies, magnificent eccentrics whose first release was a concept record about Minutemen and fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt’s battle with a vampiric Abe Lincoln. Track titles include “Mike Watt Created the Universe With a Bass Solo” and “In Which Watt Wins His Hands Back and Basses a River Into Existence.” As concept records go, it’s not quite up there with The Point! by Nilsson (which he even made into a cartoon), but it’s certainly not half-assed.
