Do you remember where you were when you first heard Victor Wooten’s landmark 1996 album A Show of Hands? And what your reaction was? Did it involve picking yourself up off the floor? Locking yourself in your practice room? Contemplating selling off your instruments? The historic, herculean effort featured Wooten playing solo bass on ten songs with no overdubs, and it stopped the bass world in its tracks while changing the course of music history. Recently we caught up with Victor to revisit the project. In the video below he discusses his inspiration for the album and the recording process, talks in depth about each track, and reflects on its impact 30 years later. Get a new perspective on this classic, whether you’ve only recently discovered it or have lived with its root-raising implications for the past three decades.
