The Hombres, “Let It Out” (Verve/Forecast 1968)
Memphis garage-rockers, so sparse and laid-back in spots, you’ll wonder if you’re awake sometimes while it’s on but with a tense rhythm-guitar counterpoint almost reminiscent of labelmates the Velvets. Nice four-in-the-morning-in-some-random-suburb-at-the-end-of-the-decade feel here, with Staxish organ that adds a faint tinge of gospel illumination to the soundscape.
