“Fire Engine” (13th Floor Elevators cover) - Television [Live, CBGB’s, 1975]

First up, I got a little confession to make, admitting that I’m not that into Television: though I get how influential these guys were on the early punk scene, their stuff just isn’t my kind of thing.

That being said, I was fully blown away by their ultra-rare live cover of The 13th Floor Elevators` 1966 garage rock pounder, recorded at CBGB’s in 1975 and included in an unofficial release of their “Double Exposure” comp: an intro of extreme craftsmanship gradually building up tension till the overwhelming outburst that swirls away their Velvet Undergound roots, `60s psych punk and proto-punk hints of the upcoming late-`70s New York punk scene, in a moment of pure rock ’n’ roll greatness.

Wilco, Black Moon (fromt their new album)

Purple Mountains - She's Making Friends, I'm Turning Stranger (2019)

A song that I can relate to.

The Byrds - Yesterday’s Train

I’d call this album Bluegrass related.  This was supposed to be one of Clarence White’s last projects before going on to play in the Byrds.  Rusty Dean was a name that Gary Paxton used on occasion.  

Musicians:

Gary Paxton, Gib Guilbeau, Gene Parsons, Clarence White, Wayne Moore, and more.
