Wild Country: Introducing
I picked this up at a local Goodwill recently and was driven to purchase it just so I could hear their cover of “Honkytonk Woman”. Also, I am a big fan of bands with matching shirts. To my surprise it actually turned out to be a pretty solid DIY Country Rock record. Not too overly hillbilly, but “rustic” enough to make the set of almost entirely original tunes more interesting than that of most city-slicker, CSNY wannabe’s that were self-releasing lp’s that passed for Country Rock during this era.Lookin’ sharp, fellas!

I just found and sold a black and white cover one by these guys called “Chubby Lee Sings Wild Country.” Tepid cuntry funk, but their ‘Shaft’ and ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ didn’t totally stink. And yeah, the best thing were the yearbook photos on the back — sideburn action par excellence.
wow – another lp by them – with Shaft? Crazy!
Nice drum break intro!
SECRET BREAK ALERT
Hey Douglas, That’s mee! Chubby Lee!
The year 1973 I think… We were kinda ina “fog” and the club owner put out the album with us, he took the sideburn action shots YAY!
It was our first album.
I have this record and will be on lookout for the other!!! SHAFT for crying out loud!!!
Hey! I’m 99% positive I had a hot one nighter with that cute blonde philly on the cover…er…that IS a woman, isn’t it…Chubby?
