Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

DR FEELGOOD : Stupidity (1976)
A September 1976 release, this saw the Feelgoods reach number 1, with the extra, unusual distinction of having done it with a live album. This highlights what they did best - a mixture of classic covers & originals played live. Wonderful stuff.....
Another great Feelgoods post! I am from America and these guys never got the recognition over here that they richly deserved. One of the best bands ever! Wilko Johnson's guitar playing was a big influence on my own.
Yeah! Great stuff! I didn't get the chance to hear Johnny Kidd & The Pirates until about ten years ago, though. Again, being a Yank I didn't get exposed to this stuff until way after the fact.
Thanks for posting this. A good start for a person whose only real Dr Feelgood knowledge is that UA best of and the recent documentary.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as I said elsewhere, a post as welcome as the failure of the BNP in the recent elections.
In other words, very welcome indeed.
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteGreat stuff from the best line up of the band.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever listened to Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, Chris ? Mick Green's playing influenced Wilko & Pete Townshend amongst many others.
