Third (albeit short) post of the evening, listened to this just this morning some REALLY good stuffon here (to me the Hearsemen and Wild Flowers truly stand out)..........I THINK (could be wrong and often am ) that this will do it for the USA stuff and we will move on, to some other great lands on this fantastic planet!
I guess if I'd have found this at the time I'd have lumped it together with the "Tucson" post a while
back, this one comes four hours up Interstate 10 in sunny (and miserable) Phoenix.....proper title: "Legend City-Ferocious Mid '60's Gems From the Vaults of Phoenix's Viv-Debra Recording Studios"......pretty lengthy title, personally never heard of the lable other than this comp.
Like the Tucson sets, though, this is pretty damn good, The Door Knobs, Heasemen, Destiny's Children, The Hobbit, The Outcasts, The Lost & Found, Solid Ground, and, especially The Wild Flowers all turn in perfectly acceptable garage rockers that hold their own with the other scenes.
Unless I stumble on something else, this is the last of the US regional comps and we will begin to explore some other countries UNLESS YOU TIRE OF THEM, and if that gets to be the case, please let me know and we'll go in some different directions......if you are RECENT convert to this blog, you may not know that is IS NOT totally about "nugget rock" although it has been for the past coupla months......I've got tons of classic 70's punk, 70's metal, 90's grunge, 00's stoner rock, 80's new wave/power pop........all stuff I love to death.. If you ARE a newbie, please check some of the older archives (the links are dead and if ask REALLY nicely I might repost them) to see that, in fact, I am not a one-trick pony limited to 1960's garage rock.....not even close.Requests are ALWAYS welcome......maybe not always HONORED, but always welcome!
