Lewis Taylor is a major musical talent, and his first album stands as a landmark among modern soul / R&B productions. Imagine Prince on a roll, with the Beach Boys on backing vocals and Jeff Beck adding psychedelic guitar. He does it all. Sweet falsetto vocals, funny lyrics and a worldwide groove. You'll want more.
pretty straightforward mid-sixties garage tune.
what really grabs me about this is the ambience created by the organ/ drum combo in the refrain, wich gives it a kind of mideval/ primal feel. (feel free to arrest me on this one as i know virtually nothing about those genres. it's just the description that sprung to mind:)
don't know too much about the band, as this was a random file sharing find.
is there any kind of music that fits better into a compilation format than the countless garage one hit- or no hit- wonders of the sixties? didn't think so.
this song, if you've never heard it, takes time to grow on you... listen to it, ignore the fact that you think it sounds like stone temple pilots, let it germinate in your mind... i promise you won't be dissappointed.
ps. it's also one of those songs that is made better by seeing the video.
great music for a party
coaxial420: I find it hard to believe that 60% or less of this board haven't heard this... it's the only song the Toadies really worked hard on to make sound good. The other stuff is kinda slow. In retrospect I have to wonder if they really wrote it... but yes, a very good song. SCOTTYFONTANA: Quite possibly one of the all time classic rock tunes. Definately in my top 40. Too bad most folks have never even heard this one.
