If you think Music for a Monday musta got lost, think again. Driving around the US slowed things down, that's all. Here's a lesson in love coutesy of "Reputa the Buta."
Hailed as "America's answer to the Rolling Stones" after the release of their debut album, these "Bad Boys from Boston" never gained the success of the Rolling Stones but they were arguably the best live band ever. A Boston blues loving DJ, a blues harp player and guitarist grabbed a bass player and drummer and rounded out the team with keys. This intro gives you a glimpse into the energy, creativity and insanity that typified a J. Geils show. So many, many, many great memories.
Enjoy (with apologies to those with sensitive ears)
I have my brother to thank for this little gem. He turned me on to Geils. He bought this epic live album on a trip we took to England and I still remember the stewardess on the flight home commenting to him, "That's a great album." She was right, and so was Tom. High energy, bare bones American R&B on two flimsy pieces of vinyl.
