Tav Falco's Wonderful World of Musical and Exotic Obscurities

(Stag-O-Lee)



Subterranean groove-exemplar Tav - storied in some precincts as Panther Burns' ringmaster - here upturns a great, big box of magnificence. The Rockabilly Tav has long embraced turns up, as do Blues manuevers. But select Tangos and Orchestral passages of dignity and depth also unfurl their grandeur. Some of us appreciate that rigid genre-snobs only hurt themselves by being insular. A shrewd adage raises its hand: 'There are only two kinds of songs - good ones and bad ones.'

Recommended: "Train Kept A-Rollin'" (Johnny Burnette and the Rock'n'Roll Trio), "It's All Your Fault" (Bobby Lee Trammel), "She's the One That's Got It" (Allen Page), "I'm Gonna Dig Myself a Hole" (Arthur Crudup),  "Where the Rio De Rosa Flows" (Jimmy Lloyd),  "Donauwellen" (Alexander Princes), "La Cumparsita" (Orquesta Bianco Bachicha), "The Third Man" (Anton Karas), "Romance de Barrio" (Los Indios Tacuanau), "Milonga vieja milonga" (Juan D'arienzo), "The Sky is Crying" (Elmore James), "Who Will the Next Fool Be?" (Bobby Bland), "Lotus Blossom" (Tav Falco & Panther Burns), "Bangkok" (Alex Chilton), "Real Cool Trash" (Tav Falco and His Unapproachable Panther Burns)

Videos: "Train Kept A-Rollin'" (feat. Bettie Page)   "She's the One That's Got It"    "Donauwellen"   "La cumparsita"   "Bangkok"
