Hey Brothers and Sisters ...... I'm back with some soul sanctifying slabs of wax!
Opening Salvo starts with Jimmy Hall [Wet Willie] and his take on JB Hutto's pounder "That's the Truth" he ain't lyin'...killer no filler!
Link Wray provides the bed music with "The Fuzz"
Set 1 Chuck Who?
- John Hammond with a groovin' cover of Chuck Berry's "Nadine" followed by the Chuck-ster his own bad self "Too much monkey business" followed by a pace setting instro by The Pacesetters " The Monkey Whip" and BJ Thomas got out of the rain long enough to serve up "Candy baby".
Set 2 Elements & Things
-Ric Cartey & the Jiv-A-Tones "Oooh Eeee" starts the second set and Ed Pauling fills the floor with "Soul House". And probably the first swamper Tony Joe White ain't singin' about Annie with "Elements & Things" a great cut from his 2nd LP on Monument Records. Phil Brown & the Apaches from Paris come stateside for a noir version of Jimi's "Manic Depression"...of course Link Wray lays down the bed.l
Set 3 Slums & Blackouts
-The 5 Royales sing about slums with "The Slummer the Slum" with killed guitar by Ed [Loman] Pauling / The Faces "Flying" gets a visit from Cheech and Chong / Tony Pigg with a soundcheck from 1977 / Amy Ray checks in with "Give in" and The Funkees from Nigeria lay down a groove with "Acid Rock"
That's it for this week.....next week : A 45 RPm S**tshow!
