I've been watching some Kiwi TV shows and was turned on to some of their early rock that I'd never heard. This was featured at the beginning of S1E3 of Westside. It's Doug Jerebine AKA Jesse Harper. I guess he's quite a legend over there. All I know is I love this song.  Came out in 1969. Man...I love finding new tunes. |

Neat find! Of the two songs you posted I really like the Jug-A-Jug song best. I listened to the Human Instinct version of that track and it's more polished, but I like the psych vibe running through it. I've listened to 3-4 other tracks from Doug/Jesse and I also liked "Fall Down". Good stuff from that era.

I'm very familiar with this period of Rock and how American Blues were repackaged with an English 'skiffle' influence during the British Invasion. The Kiwi take on American Blues is a little different, and has more of a dance groove to it. A lot of the songs on this album have a walking bass and very prominent drums. Technically, the guitar is very advanced for this period and, although slightly more subtle, rival what Hendricks and Clapton were doing. The recording levels in the studio are very different and have a different balance - the percussion is recorded hot. Also interesting, on some of tracks the vocals are no doubt being miked through a very small speaker, which removes the longer wavelengths and gives a higher frequency. A lot of bands were playing with small speakers back then, most notably Keith Richards' guitar on 'Satisfaction,' which was not only small but blown out. Anyway, I've never heard anything like it before. Makes me wonder what other pockets of undiscovered rock are left out there.  |
