Candy Girl feels more spontaneous

the album crackles with groovy blues-rock riffs

and contemporary R&B influences

a skin-crawling lament in praise of the wild at heart

BOB AZZAM & THE GREAT EXPECTATION - Bob Azzam & The Great Expectation - Remastered Format:LP, Fire Orange Vinyl Middle NameThis 1969 oddity goes for big bucks if you can find it for a couple of obvious reasons. First, the drum break on the cover of Alvin Toussaints classic Rain Rain (Go Away) has become legend among crate diggers and samplers. The other is that the version of The Rolling Stones The Last Time is astonishingly psychedelic, a delirium of fuzz guitar, electric sitar, rumbling piano, and throbbing bass punctuated by soaring, Left Banke esque vocal choruses.
