Yeah your right, Bruce is/was for the average Joe, everyday man...that's why people respect him. So was Dylan early on, but he never admitted it and Christy Moore over in the UK. Nostalgia, your right about that too..alot of his lyrics reflect uni...
When it comes to Bruce I always enjoyed Nebraska, the earlier albums are good in a classic rock sorta way. I guess Little Steven's is what it is...I mean if your new to the genre or garage rock in general, you'll be exposed to the heavy hitters or...
Plattsburgh is all the way up by Canada...I think it's a good 6-7 hours from NYC. That's what makes the Mike and the Ravens story all the more remarkable. What about NYC or Texas??....Bobby Fuller/post Buddy Cricketts who released a couple of good...
Ironically. I've heard they use to have rock n roll banaza's in Plattsburgh NY of all places. Mike and the Ravens held court there and released 3 good pre Beatles 45's (all collected on the Nevermore cd) and played live on a daily/weekly basis at ...
I think I was a member of the old garage punk forum.....I believe they had separate threads....new sounds (revival groups), the old sounds (sonics, remains ect) and many more? There was that remote control car looking logo thing? Am I right??? May...

I met Phil May and Dick Taylor of the Pretty Things. Good blokes too, they really were your average guys. I like the music a ton but really have no interest in the lifestyle of the famous or how these musicians live their lives. It's just about he...
What's the deal with that Remains documentary??...I believe it's called America's Lost Band and it premiered at the Boston Film Fest recently. Does anyone know when this will be out on dvd? I read somewhere that it amassed good reviews in the pres...
The Trip
Psych Out
Riot On Sunset Strip
What's the one of the Zombies (they aren't garage but whatever) - Bunny Lake Is Missing
Blow Up - not garage either but a good film from 1966
Standells - on the munsters (not a movie)
There used to be Retrospective II (I think it's out of print) - with a really good song I've heard titled Things That Are Important. Back in the 80's there was a cassette comp of 10 Lost Souls songs put out by Green Light - it gets good reviews to...
Thanks Bob.
The two albums I'm most proud of are - 'Lies' and my latest one 'Polaroid Verite'. They are the most consistent in terms of overall playing, production and songcraft. Visit my website www.bobbryden.com for a whole lotta detail. Thanks again for you comment.

Anything old, a little skeptic when it comes to the newer stuff, whether garage punk or not, the production is just too overproduced for me..Anything psychedelic, garage, folk, 60's/70's soul, jazz, blues, old country, rockabilly, progressive rock, blue grass, and reggae is fine with me. Favorite bands: The Monks, The Savages, The Wipers, Rising Storm, Spirit of Christmas, Les Sinners, The Kinks, The Zombies, The Beach Boys, Painted Ship, Tamam Shud, The Wild Cherries, R. Stevie Moore, The Velvet Underground, John Coltrane, Louvin Brothers, Neil Young, The Outsiders (Dutch Group), Group 1850, early Pink Floyd, The Pretty Things, The Poets, The Meat Puppets, The Byrds, Gene Clark, Mickey Newbury, Willie Nelson, Wilson Pickett, Stevie Wonder, It's All Meat, the Yardbirds, Contents Are, Bent Wind, the Long Ryders, Miles Davis, Toots and the Maytals, Love, Jimi Hendrix, The Sonics, the Remains,....oh man the list goes on forever....
Favorite Movies:
Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, The Shining, Rosemary's Baby, Raging Bull, Godfather I & II, Casino, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, China Town, Five Easy Pieces, Easy Rider, On The Waterfront, Deliverance, Midnight Cowboy, Serpico, Scarface, anything with John Wayne and a million more....
* Johnny Cash Sings The Ballads Of The American Indian: Bitter Tears. I had this on LP when I was a kid and I've been meaning to buy a CD for years. But I was inspired to download the album after reading this article in Salon about Cash, Ira Hayes...
