the tearjerkers - bad moon rising

BIG LEGAL MESS did us all a favor by reissuing some of JACK OBLIVIANS' various post OBLIVIANS, post COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS, side projects and solo lps.....most notably the killer southern friend bluesy garage punk lp by THE TEARJERKERS entitled BAD MOON RISING....... originally released on SYMPATHY FOR THE RECORD INDUSTRY in 2001, this lp might just be JACK OBLIVIANS best, most RnR effort outside those now legendary bands he's more famous for.....

i highly suggest picking up any of Jack O's albums....but you should start with BAD MOON RISING.....my favorite of all his albums..... totally scuzzy, bluesy and soul scorching all at the same time.....

just listen to a few tracks below...... and then surf over to BIG LEGAL MESS to grab a copy for yerself!!!!   a super classic album, that you can play over and over and over again!!!!!

jack oblivian - rat city

you may know from reading this blog that the oblivians are one of my favorite bands and the various projects they've been involved with since demise of the great garage punk band have also been a huge influence on my musical leanings.......  greg has been keeping busy with REIGNING SOUND, eric with GONER RECORDS and JACK OBLIVIAN with his awesome solo records........

and JACK OBLIVIAN has a new rock n roller of an lp "RAT CITY" just out on BIG LEGAL MESS.....

the garage punk swagger is still there, but on his new album, jack oblivian mixes MEMPHIS rock and soul with post punk, classic rock boogie, fuzzed out psych and drunken blues together in one big fun late night mess.........

this is good rock n roll, at a time when way too many people stay confined within their small subgenres..... if you like anything i post on TINY GROOVES, you need to check out JACK OBLIVIAN, he's way too under-appreciated for such an awesome musician....

so click here to grab RAT CITY

and click here to go to PUNKS MAKE YOUR DAY for some older JACK OBLIVIAN lps....

and listen to a couple of tracks off the new lp below......
