Just finished watching another episode of HBO's Vinyl series. You might have guessed I'd be a fan, although I'm still not convinced by the plot. I just enjoy the music and period detail, a guaranteed highlight of any Scorsese production. His recreations of rock stars antics and live performances are absolutely top-notch. This particular episode ended with a fantastic disco rocker by Barrabas which got me in the mood for some living room DJ'ing. Out came long-forgotten LP's (the survivors of the great vinyl purge) including this mother here. I'd bet 3-to-1 that this album's "Mickey's Monkey" will appear in one of the next seasons of Vinyl - if you're willing to take my bet, talk to my bookie. It would be a slight anachronism, but it wouldn't be the first in the series. For those who've never heard of them, Mother's Finest are a predominantly black funk group augmented with white hard rock guitarist Gary Moore. Before you hit Wikipedia to see if I'm messing with you, let me rephrase: Gary "Moses Mo" Moore from the USA, not the Irish Gary Moore. This one also being a very fine guitarist, indeed.
Yep, that's Gary Moore! |
