With obscure maestros including Pat Hare, Eugene Fox, Frankie Ervin, Mel Dorsey and
Vince Everett

And iconic legends like Junior Wells, Bobby Charles, Champion Jack Dupree, Rosco Gordon and Warren Smth

Featuring monumental classic 45s: Dean & Jean’s ‘Turn It Off’, Chris Cerf And The Harvard Lampoon Tabernacle Choir’s ‘Fallout Filly’ and ‘The Penguin’ and The Zanies’ epic ‘Frustration’
