Love Sculpture - In the Land of the Few
Love Sculpture In the Land of the Few
Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts From The British Empire And Beyond Rhino 2001
Dave Edmunds wasn't always a roots rocker. This was quite the forward-looking psychedelia in 1968.
7:04 AM
The Rolling Stones - Bitch
The Rolling Stones Bitch
Sticky Fingers Rolling Stones Records 1971
This song seemed so transgressive when I was 12. It was the flip side of "Brown Sugar," and I thought I was so cool saying "Son of a b-side!"
7:07 AM
Eric Ambel & Roscoe's Gang - Miles From the Machine
Eric Ambel & Roscoe's Gang Miles From the Machine
Loud & Lonesome ESD 1995
I slept on this record when it was new, but when I finally found it a few years back - yowzah!

John Cale - Thoughtless Kind
John Cale Thoughtless Kind N
M:FANS Domino 2016
The more I listen to this record, the more amazed I am that John Cale can so radically revise his old material and yet still make it riveting to hear.
7:50 AM
Brian Eno - China My China
Brian Eno China My China
Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) Island Records 1974
Oh, how I love those old Eno records. Pop music from another universe, where a typewriter can play a solo.
8:01 AM
Clarence "Frogman" Henry - Ain't Go No Home
Clarence "Frogman" Henry Ain't Go No Home
The Cosimo Matassa Story Proper 1956
This record rules because a) Frogman's hilarious vocals and b) that powerhouse New Orleans rhythm section.

8:53 AM
Brian Setzer - Let's Shake
Brian Setzer Let's Shake
Rockabilly Riot! All Original SURFDOG 2014
One of our best guitar players doesn't get noticed because of his rockabilly persona, but man, that persona is fun, too.
