LA RECENSIONE

I have the first Led Zeppelin album in the background, but that's not why I'm writing.

I'm telling you about a great album (the title is at the top): The Gravedigger V - All black and hairy, you can find it on CD for 12/13 Euros.

For those who like real rock n roll without frills, authentic, fun, made in America west coast, the above-mentioned album is the absolute masterpiece: believe me, I have hundreds of albums but the most representative is this one. At the time, four sixteen-year-olds decided to bypass legends like Crawdaddys - Tell Tell Hearts, and for this purpose, they produced an album that I still consider a masterpiece.

Let me introduce it to you: the first track (which bears the album title) is a semi-comic devastation. The second, upon reflection, is perhaps the best garage track ever heard: Tomorrow is Yesterday. The third track: No good woman, what can I say, pure entertainment, and so is the following Do like me. On the second side, we have a certain Night of the phantom (here too 60s Comics - Hanna and Barbera, pure metronomic garage).

That's enough, just know that listening to this album is absolutely healthy and preparatory for other listens you will encounter later.

Get smart: absolutely listen to this album.
