"With his third full-length release on Atlantic, Marc Ribot takes a hiatus from his Cubanos Postizos—and, in fact, a backing band altogether—for a solo guitar album that rivals even the most challenging of Ribot's prior solo work. Replete with the guitarist's trademark sense of humor and avant-garde sound, SAINTS visits the works of many notable composers including saxophonist Albert Ayler (who contributes the title track), frequent Ribot collaborator John Zorn, and even Lennon/McCartney, with Ribot's stunning and surprising cover of the Beatles' "Happiness Is a Warm Gun."
