Ceramic Dog - Hope

By May 2020, Marc Ribot had begun to find being depressed depressing. The guitarist who's performed with Tom Waits, Jack McDuff, Diana Krall and countless others and his Ceramic Dog trio - bassist/multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily and drummer Ches Smith - hadn't played for months. So, all involved decided to head to Ismaily's Figure 8 Recording studio in Brooklyn to record what would become Hope.
