Damn. Saddened to hear of the sudden death of @tonyjoewhiteofficial this afternoon. I had the privilege to work with him twice, including earlier this year for the cover of him latest record. He truly was a rock legend, and a hell of a lot of fun to be around. #igetpaidforthis #rockandroll #legend #swampblues (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXr4RggyDP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gjjkgftd8gfa

Happy Birthday to and remembering Jeffrey Lee Pierce (June 27, 1958 - March 31, 1996) R.I.P. 🖤🥀💔 @jeffrey_lee_pierce
Los Angeles Singer and cofounder of The Gun Club along with Kid Congo Powers who he taught how to play guitar using open tuning, the band was originally called The Creeping Ritual and the name change suggestion was made by Pierce’s then roommate Keith Morris from Circle Jerks. Jeffrey Lee Pierce was a huge fan of Debbie Harry who supported and encouraged him. It motivated him to bleach his hair and to become the president of The West Coast Blondie fan club. Coincidentally Kid Congo Powers was the president of The Ramones fan club in 1976, 3 years before they met. A big fan of the blues, rockabilly and reggae, he was a contributor and writer for Slash fanzine and wrote articles on contemporary punk as well as 30s blues, 50s rockabilly and reggae. His reggae pen name was “Ranking Jeffrey Lea”. He had done an interview with Bob Marley as a result since he had been a huge fan and had attended his concert in the mid-70s. He later traveled to Jamaica meeting with Winston Rodney (Burning Spear). His knowledge of the American roots music was aided by Phast Phreddie Patterson and having access to his vast record collection. And later access to Canned Heat frontman Bob Hite’s blues record collection fortified his blues influence. Difficult to put The Gun Club in a category or genre during the Post Punk era due to their unique sound, they are considered pioneers in the genre of “cowpunk”, ”swamp blues”, “punk blues” as well as “tribal psychobilly blues”. Kid Congo commented that the early Gun Club incarnation were “too arty for rock people, far too rock for arty people, too cuckoo for the blues crowd and too American for punk”. The seminal and groundbreaking debut album “Fire Of Love” with which they applied a southern swamp inspired voodoo sensibility and style as well as a stripped down bluesy punk rock sound had 5 of the well known tracks produced by Chris D. from The Flesh Eaters and has been highly influential on many noteworthy artists. 🔥🖤🔪

“This 2006 compilation includes eight tracks from Safe as Milk, Beefheart’s debut, which popped up on my randometer in September 2018, and four from Mirror Man, both released on Buddha Records, hence the name. It’s a good primer for anyone wanting to get a feel for early Beefheart and his peculiarly unique take on experimental psychedelic blues. . Since it’s almost the same album as Safe As Milk, there’s little point in me repeating what I wrote then, safe to say that it’s still excellent. There’s nothing like a bit of Beefheart to clear the passages and get the wind between your sails again.” .
