PRESENTS THE BEST OF ACE-SIXTIES GARAGE PUNK

Description

After the success of Keb Darge’s Ace Rockabilly 2023 compilation (CHD 1637), the legend returns with another collection of music close to his heart. On “Keb Darge Presents The Best Of Ace Sixties Garage Punk,” the bald-headed maestro opens his curtains to reveal a selection of 1960s American garage tracks. “Although there are a few ‘never before on vinyl’ cuts here for serious collectors, this compilation is aimed at those just starting to get into it,” says Keb. “I’ve picked a selection of my favourites, from cool, cheap and easy-to-find stuff right through to four-figure, bloody hard-to-find stuff.” Artists such as Hooterville Trolley, the Litter, the Music Machine, the Venturie “5”, the Lyrics and the Nightcrawlers throw the spotlight back on British Invasion bands like the Who, the Kinks and the Rolling Stones, local garage flowers and the dark side of the psychedelic street. With its fuzz guitar, enthusiasm, driving rhythm and proto-punk attitude, this music still sounds fresh and is already being embraced by a new generation. With liner notes by Keb and housed in a sleeve by Robin Banks - who also designed the cover for Keb’s Rockabilly compilation - this is an essential purchase.
