He's one of those cats (like Bert Berns or Kim Fowley) who were major players but under the public radar.Alzonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-50772355356761713342015-08-20T16:25:02.853-04:002015-08-20T16:25:02.853-04:00Oh, and anytime Sanford Clark gets mentioned, the ...Oh, and anytime Sanford Clark gets mentioned, the late Lee Hazlewood's name should also come up.

Hard to believe this one beat out any number of Lefty Frizzell tunes to get on Keith's list.<br /><br />Agree, that Animals album was very satisfying. Still remember buying a promo copy from the used bins at Rhino Records when Harold Bronson was working the register. Got a promo of Iggy's "Lust For Life" on the same trip. To give you an idea of where my head was at, I played the Animals record first when I got home .... Had me hooked with "Some people say it was cocaine. Some people say it was gin" ... I already knew the song, but not from the Red Bird single or T-Bone Walker. I knew it from one of my boyfriend's Cactus albums. <br /><br />VR<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-63736973315274803332015-08-20T13:50:13.788-04:002015-08-20T13:50:13.788-04:00'The Fool' was also, inevitably, covered b...'The Fool' was also, inevitably, covered by Robert Gordon with Link Wray. I'm glad you mentioned the Animals' 'Before We Were So Rudely Interrupted,' which I would nominate as the greatest covers album of all time. By far. The follow-up, 'The Ark,' was reputedly from the same sessions but it falls flat IMHO.Alzonoreply@blogger.com
