Bomp Records' newest release, "He Put The Bomp in The
Bomp : Greg Shaw" includes 23 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED
songs by various artists, including The Fuzztones'
"I've Got A Way With Girls," which is a bit of a
departure from their more sinisterly psychedelic
sound. As this collection is more of a remembrance of
the late Greg Shaw than a tribute, The Fuzztones chose
a song that would convey Shaw's appreciation for the
60's style of Garage Pop evidenced on the Pebbles and
Bouders albums that he helped spawn. Other
contributing bands include The Plimsouls and Lyres
covering the Easybeats and the Outsiders respectively,
the Black Keys, rendering the Cramps "I Can't Find My
Mind", as well as the Dwarves and the Briefs, offering
versions of punk classics by the Weirdos and the
Zeros. The album also boasts some notable
collaborations, such as the Damned's Captain Sensible
and the late Nikki Sudden for an acoustic cover of
Iggy's "Kill City", Chris Wilson of the Flamin'
Groovies joining the Barracudas to capture Rocky
Erickson's "Two Headed Dog," and a Cleveland super
group of sorts tabbed The Dukes Of Earls, featuring
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 (currently on tour with the Black
Crowes), 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.
