KID DYNAMITE (Cream)::Hey, is this the real mid-60s rock I keep reading about in every comer of the papers? These Lone Star geezers— most of’ em rejects from one Steve-Miller Band or another—were born in the 1940’s, which means that they were punks in the right place and time.

ROCK - A - RAMA

KID DYNAMITE (Cream)::Hey, is this the real mid-60s rock I keep reading about in every comer of the papers? These Lone Star geezers— most of’ em rejects from one Steve-Miller Band or another—were born in the 1940’s, which means that they were punks in the right place and time. Val Garcia hasn’t forgotten, neither, still pumps out those TexMex, tortured-bloozer, soulhistrionic vocals with a fanaticism worthy of the late Bemie “B.B.” Fieldings of the redoubtable Black Pearl. And the band mixes it right up with hotcha guitar & keyboard soulstewing. Hand me down my loose shoes, baby! The joker’s on you, Steve Miller, for firing these refried boogiers when you opted for rational-rock; they’re the authentic gangsters of lust now. R.R.
