FLYNT & THE INSURRECTIONS, HENRY - I Dont Wanna

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 agro 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.
