Back In the Day: 1980

Colin Winski

Rock Therapy

(Takoma)




Late L.A. shouter Colin didn't so much replicate fires that preceded as loose the mighty blaze naturally within. Born of legendary indie Rollin' Rock and possibly the most uproarious of 70s/80s voices (and performers), he was equally comfortable with heartsore country psalms. Too wild for this world.

Recommended: "Rock Therapy," "Love Me, "Jitter Bop Baby," "Burnin' Desire," "Tennessee Rock'n'Roll," "That's Right," "City Dump Rock," "Whispering Pines"
