Those Fabulous Sixties!
From their brand new album of garage-rock covers DiG, please enjoy New Jersey's The Grip Weeds and their astounding remake of "No Time Like the Right Time" by The Blues Project.
That song is one of my favorite Nuggets-era singles, and I must confess I hadn't thought about it in ages. This is a great version, in any case. And fittingly, original Nuggets compiler Lenny Kaye wrote the liner notes for the album.
Who wrote the song?
ReplyDeleteCaptain Al
Al Kooper. It was a single.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! And with (I assume) some kind of synthesizer standing in for Al's ondioline. :-)
ReplyDeletePrior to BST and Electric Flag I was a Blues Project fan (dates me huh).
ReplyDeleteDon't know how it happened but it was a time of exploration

The Grip Weeds have been doing great work for decades. It's also one of my favorite band-names!
