Review: Darge curates a selection of US garage stompers from the 60s, blending the easily accessible with the rare and coveted. Aimed at both new listeners and seasoned collectors, the compilation features artists like the Hooterville Trolley, the Litter, the Music Machine, the Venturie "5", the Lyrics, and the Nightcrawlers. These tracks reflect the raw energy of the 60s garage scene and pay homage to the British invasion bands such as the Who, the Kinks, and the Rolling Stones. With fuzzed guitars, driving beats, and a proto-punk attitude, the music feels fresh and is gaining traction with a new generation of fans. The compilation includes standout tracks like 'Action Woman' by The Litter, 'Hang It Out To Dry' by Bud & Kathy, and 'No Silver Bird' by The Hooterville Trolley. Housed in a sleeve designed by Robin Banks, who also created the artwork for Darge's Rockabilly compilation, this release is a visual and auditory treat. Liner notes from Keb Darge add a personal touch, making this an essential addition to any garage punk collection.
