One of the more interesting one-shot bands in rock & roll, the Insect Trust's most famous member
was writer/critic/ethnomusicologist Robert Palmer, who played alto sax and clarinet.
Less famous, but still a notable member, was guitarist/songwriter Luke Faust, who went on to add c
reative input for the Holy Modal Rounders' string of wonderful early- to mid-'70s records.
the Insect Trust released two albums, their self-titled 1968 debut on Capitol,
and their second and final LP, Hoboken Saturday Night

Back in the '60s, most white blues fans trying to play the music took the approach of struggling
to sound as serious and authentic as possible, and a big part of the charm of the Insect Trust's debut album
is that, by accident or design, they went in an entirely different direction.
While the Insect Trust were clearly and affectionately influenced by classic blues and folk,
they were also eager to mess around with it, and Robert Palmer and Trevor Koehler's horns
and woodwinds often throw this music into a loopy, atonal, and acid-infused direction while the loose,
slightly rickety sound of Bill Barth and Luke Faust's guitars and banjos honors the styles found
on vintage 78s just as their rock-oriented chops keep the results from sounding
as if they spent much time actually learning the original riffs...(AllMusic)
