BUBBA FOWLER - And Then Came Bubba





Starting his musical career as part of a duo (with Chuck Woolery!) as "The Avant-Garde" with the singles "Yellow Beads" (re-done on this LP) ,and "Naturally Stoned" (a top-40 hit!) in 1967. Elkin "Bubba" Fowler, also played guitar for Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen ,both of whom he resembles ,musically ,lyrically ,and vocally on this 1970 album. "The Pounding Status Quo" ,is a Dylan rip ,and one of the best tracks here. Other standouts include ,"Listen Big City" ,"Next Year This Time" , and "The Messenger Of Life". The re-make of his former group's ,"Yellow Beads" ,is a hippy story ,and much of the material is either dated or has much to do with what's happening in the world right now! I remember snatching this up while thrifting ,and taking it over to Joel's house for a spin on his turntable. We just fell about in laughter ,looking at Bubba's front cover pic ,and hearing him totally aping Dylan's whole schtick! What a blast!

LARGE -7 inch single



Some power-poppy band from MA. Makes me think about if Motorhead decided they wanted to be The Shoes.Utilizing 50's/60's melodies and riffs,but bringing it up to date for the 90's. I believe Food sent me this from his discard pile,long ago.Thanks,pal.

KINGSMEN -Louie,Louie


A compilation which includes my fave Kingsmen cut,"Haunted Castle".This used to be in the jukebox at the Draft House,and if I ever played anything on there,it was Haunted Castle.You can find a swell cover of that song on an earlier posting ,as done by the Del Lagunas.

THE BROOD


The Brood is a quartet of moody psych girls,with a keyboard driven sound.Sounds like a 60's garage band,you might find on a Pebbles comp.Only this is from the 90s!

THE PANICS-Push The Button




A seminal Ft. Myers punk band,from the start,in 1980.The singer,Spencer ,was a substitute teacher at Ft. Myers High,and later moved to CA to form The Mutts (more on that on a later posting).The drummer,Jim Becker,is a local news caster.Jason Slaughter,on guitar,financed the whole thing,with his riches.Their only LP,after a few singles,this has great songs like,"Test..Test", "Kill It Before It Multiplies", "Feel For Pop",and more.Kinda 60's garage meets 80's punk/new wave.Good friends of Leo Johnson,from whom I learned of them.I used to hang with my friend's band,Nightwing,in high school,and once they were recording in the studio next to the Panics,and kept teasing them,calling them "The Pancakes"(which is actually a good band name,me thinks!)and taunting them for not playing hard rock.Recorded partially at Soundcheck studios in Ft,Myers.This rules,and is a piece of Ft.Myers punk history,as well.
