We’re staying in DEEEtroit….with another blast from the past….the Mighty FRIJID PINK is here with two….these kats kinda made it…Scene: DEEEtroit, late ‘60s , town is hoppin’, Motown = MARVIN GAYE, Heavy Rock = MC5, Punk originators IGGY & THE STOOGES, TED & his AMBOY DUKES were ripping it up too….oh & Civil Unrest… DEEEtroit TIGERs win ‘68 Baseball…. so where to fit in? Just for fun at the end of a recording session, FRIJID PINK record a Psyched out, Fuzzed up version of the folk traditional tune “House of the Rising Sun”…BINGO! Goes to number one in 1970….Hi, welcome to the club!…..but not much after that, personnel changes galore, they are still trying as we write this.
“House of the Rising Sun” from debut LP, 1969’s FRIJID PINK, fantastic guitar “State Line Boogie” from the 2011 Frijid Pink Frijid Pink Frijid Pink album…. By the by, these Kats BOOGIE so TURN TO ELEVEN!
DEEEtroit, Motor City, mid-60s, HOT RODs were the thing, street racing was the thing….big power, Kool Hoopties….Music reflected this…THE RIPCORDS, BEACH BOYS, JAN & DEAN. The Big 3 Auto giants joined in, commissioning bands to produce Hot Rod music…Paul Revere & The Raiders did “SS396” for Chevy, 1967….Here’s Pontiac’s test turn tune from THE TIGERS, “Geeto Tiger” (GTO Tiger really, but it had to rhyme?). Promoting the 1965 GTO (what a machine!). Even the Single’s artwork was to promote the Car. GO! TIGER GO!
This tune is taken off a fine Comp called Bubbling Under Vol.2 from Rare Rockin’ Records, Sydney, OZ.
THE REAL DEAL……ART on wheels, very FAST ART, 1965, this car was a contest prize, count the number of times “TIGER” is sung in the tune, win this car….simple right?
We didn’t win so now we’re gonna cry…..with DOROTHY BERRY….1957 marries HS sweety RICHARD BERRY, who?…”…whoa bebbay, we gotta go…” still nothing? ”Louie Louie”, hello…ten years in, marriage hits skidsville, divorce, joins THE IDOLS, short lived, goes solo, West Coast, a few singles…becomes a RAELETTE BG singer for RAY CHARLES….
Here’s “Cryin’ On My Pillow” from a great comp. Girl Group Gems: Soul to Surf.
Powerhouse Producer/Writer LEE HAZLEWOOD is next with a guest ANN-MARGRET, yep her, Kitten Galore! Known to some as the femme ELVIS…grrrrrrr…..LEE HAZLEWOOD hung out with a lot of Kool Kats (DUANE EDDY) & Kittens (NANCY SINATRA)…known as the father of Cowboy Psychedelia…that’s a thing. Did pretty good for the son of an Okie Oil Man…
Here’s “Only Mama That’ll Walk The Line” with the luscious ANN-MARGRET From The Cowboy & The Lady album…
GOLDBERG’s here, wants your attention…1966 forms THE SHAMBLES in Minneapolis, Cold State….pretty good band, talented, unusual for the times they play original tunes, not covers…. BARRY THOMAS GOLDBERG is still kicking the live show, touring…the whole kit…

Memphis Man JASON FREEMAN is up with wicked slide blues from his debut LP 2012’s Hex & Hell…..real deal here….taught SAMUEL L. guitar for flick Black Cat Moan….shabby he is not (who is this Yoda?)… here’s “Florida Watah”…
Nice work here, worth your time & cash…also you can order the Comic Hex&Hell….cool stuff..
Sometimes we might think, “Life Ain’t Fair & The World Is Mean”. STURGILL SIMPSON thinks so….this is one fine country singer….top of the top….Kentucky Colonel (hit buttons, look up), Dwight Yoakam is his idol, Grammy winner, Americana Winner.
here’s “Life Ain’t Fair & The World Is Mean” from the High Top Mountain LP.
We started today in weirdsville & we’ll end there too….from Austin, Oil-State. We witness two from THE GHOST WHITE SHIVERS…this is a “hokum” band…part ragtime, jug band, vaudeville, music with a comedy flare…totally fun….took in a show a few back at the now boarded RED 7 club…veddy Kool show…chatted up the 7 foot, lead singer/banjo man in a suit 3 sizes too small (Lurch came to mind)….He said they like it dark & on sour notes….indeed they do.
First we offer “White Trash Fast Food”. then “Sweet Banana” both from the Nobody Loves You album…fine work here, check out their site & buy.
All for today……..
