Born of a mating of art and music, DIRTY BABY the CD boxed set from Cryptogramophone Records, is guitarist/composer Nels Cline and producer David Breskin's visionary recontextualization of Ed Ruscha's "censor strip" paintings.

DIRTY BABY is also a book from Delmonico Books Prestel. It's a provocative "trialogue" between the paintings of Ed Ruscha, the music of Nels Cline, and the poems of David Breskin.
