Rock n Roll Vinyl Rips - Bunker Hill & Link Wray

If you've ever heard "The Girl Can't Dance" by Bunker Hill, you've got an idea what kind of incredible capacities a human voice can have. The song altogether, with Bunker's mind-blowin' caveman-alike hollering is so way beyond belief, that there ain't just enough superlative words to describe its invincibility. Bring it together with Bunker's other early sixties novelty masterpieces, and you've got there a load of the most powerful black rock'n'roll ever made.

Under the guidance of Vernon Wray he recorded three frantic secular singles, all backed by Vernon's brother Link Wray along with the Raymen. The debut disc, "Hide and Go Seek", was Bunker Hill's biggest hit, cracking the top 40 in 1962 and becoming a regional smash in the DC area. Two highly charged singles followed, "Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf" and the unruly "The Girl Can't Dance", and while neither did much business in their day, both enjoy serious dance floor racket time today.

Restored to One

Well, here's something a bit different . . .


As someone with an interest in Cults in general, I knew a wee bit about the Process Church of the Final Judgement, in that they influenced the thinking of Charlie Manson and one of the founders was fae Glesga, Mary Ann MacLean. They worshiped Christ, Lucifer, Satan, and Jehovah all equally and were originally an offshoot from Scientology. Basically at the final judgement, Christ will come back to judge us and Satan will exact that judgement, in a kind of apocalyptic 'I'll haud em, you dod em' tag team style.


Anyway stoner doom sex bomb Jex Thoth has teamed up with Dave Nuss of the free Jazz group the No Neck Blues Band to record the hymns sung by this Satan worshiping counterculture cult, and I've been diggin' it. The music is a kind of psychedelic gospel rhythm and blues, with a creepy groovieness that comes from the fact that whoever wrote these songs was deeply sick in the mind. Jex's voice is sexy and haunting. The overall effect is like waking up from a really bad trip next to a beautiful woman who you know, in your heart, is Satan.
