JUST LIKE THE FIRST TIME

"Remember the first time you heard "HooDoo Man Blues" by Junior Wells? Or maybe the first Butterfield album? Howzabout getting your head cleaned out by the Clash? I may be an old poop, but, to me, most everything these days sounds homogenized and prefabricated. This stuff is raw and unfiltered. It's like being onstage with a guitar master who, as one critic put it, is "the angriest player on earth." Sometimes it's crisp and clean, and the next minute it's fuzzed out of an old, shredded Fender amp. It's funky, country, screaming, rocking... there's even something that sonds like reggae. I can't get it out of my head. Stop me before I play it again!!!"
