A few weeks back Peter noted some great stuff about Little Willie John on the site.
And, that kicked my brain cells back to Robbie Robertson’s eponymously named debut album which is a killer in my meager opinion.
Employing Peter Gabriel and U2 and the Bodeans among others to help with instruments and especially vocals, the album really goes all over the map musically, with each song a little stronger than the cut before.
This one, Somewhere Down the Crazy River is clearly the one that tripped the Little Willie John wires:
But, this song, Hell’s Half Acre is as driving and kickass a rocker as ever lived. I can actually leave it in a loop for five or six playings on my phone it is so good and visceral.
Here is hoping everyone out there has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday!
