Screaming Lord Sutch - Jack The Ripper - 1963 45rpm

I said it, we will recover some of those crazy characters from that abundant period that goes from the late fifties to the mid-sixties… that limbo between the birth of Rock 'n' Roll and the connection with garage and related styles.

So many characters with a capital P. David Edward Sutch (Screamin in honor of that other madman) would take more than a book… unfortunately, his over-the-top performances and rule-breaking antics were rarely recorded, with very little available.

This is discussed in Ritchie Blackmore's biography that I "reviewed" here many years ago. It was Blackmore himself who played with him and many other sadly forgotten ones. So many names, so many Nobles who laid the groundwork for the near future.

It’s worth noting that until 1970 he didn’t release a single album, but thanks to people like Page, Beck, Bonham, Redding, and Hopkins, he managed to put out a couple of decent ones… but by then it was all over…

Then he entered politics always as a born provocateur, savansadir.

The Ecstasy Of Saint Theresa ‎– Free D(Original Soundtrack)(1994)(Electronic)(Ambient)(Experimental)
At the time, the term "Ambient" was more or less foreign to me, but these vivid, organic sounds, constantly transforming, enchanted me and gradually became the key to a magical yet real world, so far away but also so close. It deserves a bit of attention, a bit of Our Time just to peek through a keyhole at what’s inside the clouds 🌥 and what the wind is like 💨

Bert Jansch "Black Waterside"
He may not have a great voice, but Bert Jansch's guitar technique has been fundamental for many others, and I'm not just talking about a minstrel like Donovan Leitch. Even Jimmy Page has always pointed to him as one of his musical references. Here’s one of his gem tracks titled "Black Water Side."
