Gonn - Frenzology 1966-1967 (Punks Along The Mississippi)

The universe is permeated with the odor of kerosene, can you remember the first time you heard the punk classic “Blackout Of Gretely” by Keokuk Iowa’s Gonn? That scream, that fuzz tone riff, they still get me fired up to this day, even after hearing it literally hundreds upon hundreds of times. This is a really awesome collection, 25 tracks in all, 6 of which were not previously released. And as a bonus there are 6 songs performed live from 1990, and yes they still got it goin’ on. All the proof you need is here to verify that these guys are garage punk legends!
