The Kinks: Til the End of the Day

I have a weakness for early Kinks. Don't know why, I just do. Here's TIL THE END OF THE DAY. Enjoy.

The Kinks: Set Me Free

Just a little Kinks for your Saturday evening. Great song.

TROUBLED HORSE

Troubled Horse is an incredible, sinister sounding retro 1960's and 1970's psych rock band from Sweden. They remind me of a cross between Pentagram, Black Sabbath, The Kinks, and Roky Erickson. They have a distinctive 1960's garage punk edge combined with an excellent ear for doom. Their music is at times akin to the impeccable retro psych doom rock of Witchcraft. Highly recommended. They do not have an album available that I know of, but you can hear two of their songs, "Bring My Horses Home" and "Shirleen" here.

THE GREENHORNES

The Grenhornes are an amazing retro 1960's garage rock band. These guys stand out well above the legion of garage rock revivalist acts out there. Their first album, simply titled "The Greenhornes"(2001), is a masterpiece. Their outlook is gloomy, and their sound brings to mind the best of the The Yardbirds, The Kinks, The Standells, early Paul Revere and the Raiders and the like...a perfect mixture of blues, soul, and a fuzzed out yet highly polished and melodic sound. The vocals and harmonies are incredible, engaging, yet detached. They fuse all of the best things about the garage rock era into something completely original and all their own, making it sound fresh and new again. If you're into 1960's garage rock like I am and you enjoy the "Nuggets" and "Pebbles" compilations as much as I do, this is a must have in your collection. And even if you're not, give these guys a listen anyway. I'm sure you will like them.

Here's "Let Me Be", and "Can't Stand It". Enjoy.
