Link Wray -- Law Of The Jungle
Law Of The Jungle spans Link Wray's career from 63 to 66, showcasing some of his best known Surf Punk hits and early vocal efforts. This instrumental mastermind has numerous legendary admirers and influenced many genres with his raw boisterous style.
Foals -- Antidotes
This kinda ok but not really Indie British band has one killer track, Big Big Love (Fig 2), otherwise forget this crap and move on.
Death -- ... For The Whole World To See
This long lost masterpiece was almost ignored by the world, until a couple of guys brought it back from the dead (ha ha!), and made a documentary film on these Proto-Punk pioneers. The music itself is a wicked mix of The Stooges and early Love with stop on a dime precision. Why this album never saw the light of day, we'll never know, but thank god we've got it now!
Jr. Walker And The All Stars -- Play Shotgun
These killer motor city Soul brothers somehow make me think of a Motown version of Booker T And The MG's, but being a Detroit band, there's more horns and less Blues.
Betty Everett -- They'll Come A Time
Great album but to be honest this record is just run of the mill Soul music, which is nice and all, but there was a lack of a stand out track! Hey!! I'm a poet and did know it, thank God I wrote it!
