A Radio Orphans music video featuring the faces and daily life of America's rural poor during the mid 1960's. The tune Poor Boy is on the Radio Orphans CD "Monkeys Dance" available on iTunes.
Like the juxtaposition of the very prosaic b&w video with the fierce and relentless music. And the music could've been so awful -- but you really controlled the distortion in that constant guitar, so that it came off nice and crisp, rather than muddled (like so much of the electric guitar from so many of these off-label bands). Like your control -- you balance ragged energy with sheer musicality very well.
