Burton, Charlie

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

Don't Fight The Band That Needs You!!!!
Pop Used - LP WLP002 Wild
Rare 1983 Private Pressing. Includes A Double Sided 12"x12" Insert Plus Four Photocopied 8"x10" Inserts. “This Crazed Rock'n'Roller From Lincoln, Nebraska Does It The Old-Fashioned Way: He And Three Bandmates (Bassists Come And Go But Guitarist/Pianist Phil Shoemaker And Drummer Dave Robel Are On All Of These Self-Released Albums) Play Wonderfully Unpretentious Hopped-Up/Stripped-Down Rockabilly/R&B Originals, With Offbeat, Often Funny, Lyrics. Don't Fight The Band That Needs You!!!! Is Marginally Fancier (Maybe It's Just The Addition Of Piano And A Guest Violin On One Song That Makes It Sound More Accomplished) But Just As Great. Charlie's In A Distinctly Presleyesque Mood Here, Crooning The Romantic "It's Not Polite" And Hiccuping Through The Cynical "I, 4 1, Don't Care." Strangest Creation: "Succubus." Most Winsome Thought: "(Can't Find My) Niche."”... more details
