You reall...Thanks for a great read on Hank Ballard. You really do bring the guy alive.<br />He was always there in the fifties but it was difficult to get his records in the UK. You saw his name on the R'n'B charts. The name had everything that was rock'n'roll, everything that could be imagined or not even imagined, it just lay ahead of you, like a sign flashing on the sea.<br />As you say, one of the great bands.

It came to light since he left the group that he was'nt even on the disc, the higher ups in the COG sent in some imposter to use Spencer's name and basically pocket most of the advance! If you hear the LP today (it's awful) you can tell it's not him singing. BTW the BBC Fleetwood Mac double CD has some great non-LP stuff including alot of Spencer's Buddy Holly inspired tunes, a great Tallahassie Lassie, etc.The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-70905833595341503382008-11-15T21:58:00.000-05:002008-11-15T21:58:00.000-05:00Fascinated that Hank loved a couple of English whi...Fascinated that Hank loved a couple of English white guys (Green & Spencer) when he must have been around and in the middle of all those cats Green and Spencer were coping.<BR/>I must say though nobody beats Spencer's interpretation of Elmore James music.<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ifz5-FqK-U<BR/><BR/>I wonder if this Children of God thing was a cover for something more devious.Disturbing stuff about half way down.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Spencer<BR/><BR/>PhiloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-55220855626371798042008-11-13T08:48:00.000-05:002008-11-13T08:48:00.000-05:00They just gave the boot to the word, the expanatio...They just gave the boot to the word, the expanation being I could not refer to Brother Joe May as a sissy because he was one (if he wasn't as sissy I would have been able to call him a sissy). Since he was dead I doubt he cared what I called him. I know, it made no sense then and even less sense now. It was in an article about Esquerita, one of the last things if not the last I wrote for them. If NYC didn't have a "pick up your dogshit" law they wouldn't be able to give away 3/4th's of their newspaper which has deteriorated to the point that it's kept afloat by pages of transexual prostitue ads in the back. Just don't call 'em sissies.The Houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328225246284521960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-63284796988550065072008-11-13T08:39:00.000-05:002008-11-13T08:39:00.000-05:00And PS: Didn't that same Village Voice that allowe...And PS: Didn't that same Village Voice that allowed you to write about "fuck songs" eventually give you der boot for using the word "sissy"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-70292959538530772182008-11-13T06:21:00.000-05:002008-11-13T06:21:00.000-05:00"...The original Midnighters had become Black Musl..."...The original Midnighters had become Black Muslims and refused to play the frat houses."<BR/><BR/>LOL!!!<BR/><BR/>"...Eventually in desperation Hank took to recording junk like 'How You Gonna Get Respect (When You Ain't Cut Your Process Yet)'."<BR/><BR/>LOL!!!<BR/><BR/>To Hank and The Hound: Thank YEW!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-26282873983832354042008-11-12T11:01:00.000-05:002008-11-12T11:01:00.000-05:00Thanks!
