west coast blues/RnB ~ 1965

Pianist, vocalist, songwriter, Jimmy McCracklin started recording around 1945, releasing about 75 singles from the early 50s to about 1970.
I like the fact that his records/recordings are elite in the sense that they crisscross musically from R&B to Blues to Soul so easily, but still remain pure in their sound.

At 90, he is now primarily a blues performer and is still recording and performing.

Punk Rock does Heavy Metal.

Down the cluttered steps of my yesterhood...punk rock and a LP track no less.

Musical genres are quite parallel for me most of the time. Though my graduation from rock, to punk, to R&B and soul seems natural, been digging and playing a few of my neglected LPs lately.

Had forgotten how much I love this record.
Love the Dickies, especially their many covers.
