Flamin' Groovies - "California Born and Bred" (Norton, 1995)


I consider myself a HUGE Flamin’ Groovies fanatic and almost daily google a little with their name putted on the search box to see what’s new or not.
Some days before I checked on Hounds’ blog (always a pleasure reading him) and found him raving about Norton’s Groovies compilation “California Born & Bred”!  Indeed an excellent add on for the band’s loyalists. As usual, Jim was right.
That's the Roy Loney era line up and has many previously unreleased tracks including the killer versions of "Texas Border" or "Dr. Boogie".
Since it’s a 1995 release I thought to post it here. Of course Norton has copies available and I assume you know what you must do next huh?

  2. This is indeed excellent, but I think I prefer the other Norton Flamin' Groovies album ("Slow Death") slightly. It has "Slow Death," which totally rocks (even though my favorite version of that song is on "Backtracks") and also "When I Heard Your Name," a song with a great stompin' Bo Diddley beat and sweet rock'n'roll harmonies.
