Shiver - San Francisco's Shiver

Those who dig rough, psychedelic rock from the late '60s and the early '70s really should pick up this one. Shiver was a power trio that played Hell's Angels' parties and Hippie street fairs as well. A musical representation of Acid. No overdubs.


Get your Shiver HERE: part 1 / part 2.

Junior Parker - Love Ain't Nothin' But A Business Goin' On

This is one funky-ass record. Gets even a bunch of librarians to a houseparty. Junior Parker also covers three tracks by The Beatles - all you samplers out there, listen closely to Taxman. Brilliant stuff. Comes from vinyl.


Get this one over HERE.


Fans of Cypress Hill should recognize this one.

Baby Huey - The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend

You just might recognize a couple of beats from this album. Baby Huey is one of the most sampled artists within the hip hop industry. Back in the '60s, the man himself poured out one soulfull song after another. Dig.

Baby Huey knew how to party too. Check this!

Chuck Prophet - Soap and Water

Chuck Prophet's latest album is a "mesmerizing blend of warmth and chill" according to Philadelphia Inquirer. I couldn't possibly describe the vibe of Soap and Water any better than that. Sweet.


Download this album HERE.


Here's Would You Love Me? plus an interesting introduction.

Joe Clay - Ducktail

Raunchy rockabilly from '56. Clay didn't make it big, but he was an inspiration to a.o. Gene Vincent, The Paladins and Brian Setzer. No lame ballads on this one.


Download Ducktail HERE.


Get on the right track, baby.
