Lewis Reed - Merry 'Go Round

Cool unreleased early side (circa 1962) from this legendary singer/songwriter...that great snotty vocal style starting to emerge...love the organ solo

yea whoa so awesome. lou is singing like "lou singin' through his nose like dylan" BEFORE he'd even heard Dylan (Freewheelin' i guess)

this tune/vocal could be on the "4th MGM album" easy. plus or minus the circus organ solo. .

@mikeinoakland Good call...thinking about it, I could see this one slowed down a bit with Mo's thumping and maybe that organ even louder (my fave on that LP is "What Goes On"...'nuff said"

fuckin' genius. he's outsinging Dylan years before he even heard Dylan!  and channeling it with the garage-rock Mouse & The Traps lyric buzz-off-baby that THE KIDS WHO AREN'T COLLEGE ENGLISH MAJORS can unerstand.
