Reigning Sound - North Cackalacky Girl (Shattered, 2014)

Besides Mick Collins, another beautiful bastard Devil-Wizard of the genre is Greg - Oblivians - Cartwright. Legendary with the Oblivians, immense with the Compulsive Gamblers, and super with this other magnificent creature of his.

Well, you say okay, but then another five years go by and this Noble Bastard from out of this world envelops you with yet another splendid album. Animals, Them, Zombies, Beat and musty R&B in the cellar, but above all so much soul that seems to have come out of Stax, black and white together, romanticism with gems that appear to have come from the cusp of the Fifties and Sixties… always with that way of his… like someone drinking with friends in a bar, then picking up the guitar and starting to play. It’s not just great talent, you also have to be a Noble Bastard…
