Ray Stinnett, “A Fire Somewhere” (Light In the Attic, 2012; original recording 1971)
Commissioned by A & M, then never released, this effort by the former Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs guitarist really is a lost classic – funky, hard-edged white Memphis r & b filtered through spooky acid-folk, or vice versa. If there was a missing link between the Band and Big Star, this might’ve been it.
Try 2, 3, 12.
