Various - Feeling High: Psychedelic Sound of Memphis (CD)

Sealed. 2012 collection. Memphis is well known as the birthplaces of the blues, the fount of southern soul - and the locale that begat rock'n'roll. The city boasted a healthy rock scene well into the 1960s and 1970s, but few retrospectives have documented Memphis music in the psychedelic era when, as a major recording centre, it was the nexus not just for local freaks, but those from neighboring Arkansas, Mississippi and beyond. Big Beat's "Feeling High - the Psychedelic Sound of Memphis" shines a welcome light on this long-neglected area, and it's survey is based principally upon the work of two renowned Memphis mavericks. 1 Rubber Rapper - Sealing Smoke2 For Your Love - Honey Jug3 Blue Music Box - the Changin' Tymes4 Secret Storm - the Knowbody Else5 Spare Me - Triple X6 Holy Days - the Wallabys7 Shoo Shoo Shoo Fly - Greg McCarley8 Hark the Child - the Changin' Tymes9 Come on Along and Dream - the Poor Little Rich Kids10 Eat Me Alive - the Goatdancers11 Crazy Man's Woman - Greg McCar
