FLYNT, HENRY & THE INSURRECTIONS - I Dont Wanna

180 gram vinyl. Our man Flynt shatters the categories once again with this surprise collection of his short-lived basement rock protest band, The Insurrections, from 1966. Let there be no doubt in anyones mind: Flynts version of protest music isnt your cultural-commissar school of folk posturing. Its aggro and Flynt is an unhinged showman on helium-induced vox and the electric guitar (his teacher was none other than Lou Reed). Imagine a mix of Sky Saxon (of Seeds fame) with a dash of Roky Erickson thrown in on vocals, a little bit of the Cramps scary monster dramatics thrown in for good measure & the swamp chugalug laziness of vintage Pussy Galore and you get an idea what Flynt was up to at this phase in his non-career. Features legendary sculptor Walter De Maria on drums, confirming our hidden suspicion that in every great artist theres a desire to rock & beneath every fine gallery, there is a basement.
