13th Floor Elevators, with frontman Roky Erickson, on Barnyard Blues off of their '69 Bull Of The Woods album.  Not recommended for folks who are prone to photosensitive epilepsy from psychedelic flashing lights.  :biggrin:

Thanks for the Popa Chubby tune, jvs.  :jap:  I wasn't familiar with him but his guitar work and his blues on this song didn't seem to be a one off.  So I downloaded his entire discography . . . 15+GB.  I figured there's got to me a lot of golden music in there.  Sure enough, the first song I played off of his '92 debut LP, It's Chubby Time, is a simply marvelous blues number, I Can't Stand It Baby.  Looking forward to exploring this guy's music.

Time and place leaves certain songs and/or albums forever impressed on our memories.

13 years old, imprisoned in a stuffy English boarding school, we had one way to escape the suffocating establishment, personified by the prefects, stooges of the teachers and headmaster. We had our own studies, tiny rooms but free to decorate at will, posters of Hendrix and psychedelia, Granny Takes a Trip  plastered the walls.

In addition, stereo systems with separate speakers and headphones were just coming into vogue, prices ranged from 30 to 50 quid.

And then we listened to Piper At the Gates of Dawn on headphones.

A wonder! Transported from a mundane existence to Syd's magical world of catchy melodies and extraordinary variety of musical sounds and instruments.

 

 

A wonderful post encapsulating those early days for us, bannork.  We were so lucky to have grown up in that era.  :jap:  Brings back memories of the endless hours spent listening to the BBC whilst in a boy's boarding school in Germany.

Yeah,i like him very much.I was at one of his concerts nearly 20 years ago,small venue

only about 200 people there,Amazing!

He does play a lot in Europe mostly smaller festivals but he has a very loyal following.

I can relate to the small venues.  Growing up in Chicago I had the good fortune to see so many of Chicago's great blues artists up close and personal.  Perhaps my best blues experience was down in Austin, Texas.  Austin is a college town and they close down 6th Street every night, which is an entertainment district.  The streets are jammed with people.

Went to a blues bar called Joe's Generic Bar, which occupied little more than a small store front with a 8-foot long bar.  Seating was perhaps no more than 30~40 people.  No one was more than 8 or 10 meters from the stage.  The place was so small that the loos were outhouses out the back door, which took you past the stage set up in one rear corner of the joint.  I can''t recall the name of the band but they were intense.
