He Put The Bomp! In The Bomp
"He Put The Bomp in The Bomp" is not a tribute album per se (a box set would probably be more appropriate and is still in the cards), but more of a remembrance of the man and his unique perspective. We asked the bands to go into the studio and cut the cover song they felt was most in tune with the idea of Bomp! and Greg Shaw. The result is a nice brew of garage punk, power pop and psychedelia that we think captures the spirit and sound of the BOMP label. The Plimsouls and Lyres covered the Easybeats and the Outsiders respectively, the Black Keys surprised us with their rendering of the Cramps "I Can't Find My Mind", while the Dwarves and the Briefs did their version of punk classics by the Weirdos and the Zeros. We also got some nice surprises with the teaming up of Captain Sensible (Damned) and the late Nikki Sudden for an acoustic cover of Iggy's "Kill City", Chris Wilson of the Flamin' Groovies joined the Barracudas to capture Rocky Erickson's "Two Headed Dog," and a Cleveland super group of sorts tabbed The Dukes Of Earls was formed with ex-members of the Dead Boys and the Stiv Bators' band. Also included is an amazing rendition of Rockin' Horse's classic "Don't You Ever Think I Cry" by Buffalo Killers, a cover of Spacemen 3 by The Warlocks, and much more. The Last even dug up for the occasion their previously unreleased rendering of Jonathan Richman's "Pablo Picasso" recorded back in 1977. There's a lot of cool music on this comp which we hope fans and collectors will enjoy. Tracklist : 1. Plimsouls - Good times 2. The Briefs - She's just a girl on the block 3.
