The Wolfmen (Archway)
Superstar Jerry Reed wrote and recorded the song "Take A Walk" in 1967. The following year The Wolfmen recorded a garage sounding cover of the song. It was released on Archway Records located in Saint Louis, Missouri. I noticed on the label that the record is not Mono or Stereo but is Stono (Stereo, Playable Mono). Hum, I have not seen that term used before. Anyway I hope you enjoy the record.

The Four Winds (Westland)
Lately its been cold and snowy here but that's OK. It gives you a chance to relax, spend time with family, read, watch a little TV and to simply count your blessings. I have been recently watching shows on the tube of those who have struggled for freedom and demonstrated great courage in times of adversity. The folk sound of the 1960's often tried to capture this in song. Today I would like to highlight a folk group called The Four Winds. Their 45 was released in 1965 on the Westland label located in Richland, Washington. Additional information about the band can be found on the That's All Rite Mama website. Check It Out

Kerry's Akoustiks (MARKUS)
Here's a record I just had to highlight on the blog. In late 1965 Kerry's Akoustiks released this double sided garage gem. Unfortunately this was the groups only release as far as I know. That's to bad, I really like the sound that they had. The Group is believed to have hailed from the state of Minnesota. They did a real nice fuzz version of "I Can Tell" and they follow that up with a strong version of "Blues Stay Away From Me" on the B side. Nice record!
