Zombiehamster.com Mixtape #3 Surf, Soul & Rockabilly
It’s Friday, which means that it’s time for the weekly installment of the zombiehamster.com mixtapes. The previous ones have been great fun and thanks to everyone who downloaded them. This week sees a change in direction as I had initially promised. I’ll be keeping you on your toes with these.
Mixtape #3 contains some of my favourite Rockabilly, Surf and Soul tracks from the 50′s and 60′s. There’s some oddities, some rarities and some classics to ensure that no matter how familiar you are with this, you’ll certainly get a kick out of it and hopefully discover a few new favourites for yourself.
There is something amazing and fantastical about this era of music. It sounds fresher and more impassioned to me than 90% of the contemporary records that I hear. May it bring you similar joy.
