I knew it wouldn't be long before we hopped from garage to more rockin stuff.
I first heard Sparkle Moore as a kid on an Ace Records compilation tape my dad got free with Vox magazine. The tape has a bit of a cult following now apparantly. It was called 'Abattoir Dogs- 15 shots of Rock N Roll weirdness'.
Sparkle Moore's Flower of My Heart was on there....

Real alternative Americana. Good shout OCBD.
Actually I'm just going to stick my neck out and say I love Cajun and Zydeco. America has always inspired with its wild richness.
Le Trio Cadien. Featuring the great Eddie Le Jeune. Probably the last of the real Cajun singers.

I couldn't work out if it was dragging or hypnotic...either way not enough shouty rap out there for my liking. Like a post-apocalyptic RUN DMC
