    Man this guy is doing it right. Funny, wry, graceful and with a head full of amazing musical history, and he still makes interesting and compelling music. I think I like everything he's ever done, to one degree or another, and some of his stuff is foundational for me. WELL PLAYED, SIR

    Mister Kid Congo, je vous connais depuis que j'ai 20 ans, vous êtes donc une légende, pour moi. Vous éclairez tous les disques les plus Rock et Sournois; vous êtes un guitariste exceptionnel, capable de jouer avec les frontmen les plus cinglés, , bref , vous êtes Le guitariste absolu.... Vous êtes un exemple pour la jeunesse. Je vous aime.

    That solo bit that closes the first song is nice. Delicate and mystical.

    He got a special touch.. for example, at the time Psychedelic Jungle seemed a not totally 'cramped' album, but after so much time I find so amazing that magical finess and even sweetness emerging from that particular album of the most raw band in rock'n'roll history

    First time I've knowingly listened to him. I hear pure 1960s retro, and garage psyche. Film soundtracks. John Cippolina, The guitarist/s from Love, The B-52s- and no surprise to learn he was in The Cramps

    there was already 60's garage all throughout the 90's and into the 2000's... this seems like the culmination of it being incredibly just one giant cover of the Nuggets compilation. This guy's 60's 45rpm collection must be insane. But at this point it just seems like a caricature of a lost underground era.
