Georgie Fame

I confess I have eclectic music tastes. If you look at the tracks on my iRiver you’ll find everything from Salsa Celtica (salsa with bagpipes) through to Scissor Sisters. One artist I think I’ve overlooked recently is Georgie Fame, so when Somebody Stole My Thunder dropped through the letter box from Play.com it was a pleasant surprise. It’s a collection of some of Georgie’s “Jazz-Soul Grooves” from the1967-1971 period. Very refreshing to hear music with an edge, and how quirky is El Pussy Cat? Of course, the title track is very well known, being originally released around the end of the 1960s. The whole album is an easy listen, but not easy listening! Blues Brother meets early British pop! Good stuff.
