Phil Dirt - Reverb Central - PO Box 1609, Felton, CA 95018-1609 USA The Charles Napiers - Mono Wray Or Death
 | This narrowly distributed cassette captures just four tracks from the Charles Napiers, all with a nod to Link Wray as the title suggests, but most of questionable quality. |
Picks: You're Gonna Miss Me, Chicken Choke, Ace Of Spades, Rumble
Track by Track Review
You're Gonna Miss Me Garage Trash (Instrumental)
The wrong chords, what sounds like outta tune guitars, and murky sound leave flat this version of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators' signature tune. Big thunder, and interesting ideas, just poorly executed.
Chicken Choke Garage Trash (Instrumental)
Sub chicken bop riff rock, energetic and fun, but not particularly memorable.
Ace Of Spades Garage Trash (Instrumental)
Link Wray and his Raymen's "Ace Of Spades" is low browed with fuzz and murky sound. Not particularly interesting.
Garage Trash (Instrumental)
Ultra trashy, big and sustained, dissonant and irritating, thick and murky, with squealing feedback. Hey, it's "Rumble," what more do you need.
