Pistolero b/w Hummingbird
Holy shit does this one smoke! Seemingly inspired by Gene Pitney and possibly an influence for Jack Wood's "Born To Wander" this jam "Pistolero" came up on a digital compilation called "Born To Be Wild" and it stuck out for being so damn exciting.
Tracked down an original single (affordable!) and now the Western-tinged, gunfight at the mediocre corral vibes here is something that I want an entire pile of. I mean, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" seems to be a spiritual predecessor to this one, there's gotta be more, right?
Worth the price they're asking. Just grab. And if you're looking for a roller coaster, peep his wikipedia, dude had a wild ride.
