Uber cool live version ‘Always been a Dreamer’ by the eclectic Thomas Truax the original studio version incidentally can be found loitering on his current long playing set ‘Trolls, Girls and Lullabies’ which I must admit has been peppering our listening space a tad bit since arriving in the gaff a few days ago.
This version comes pulled from theater Dortmund’s production of ‘peer gynt’ – a prowling bad boy mooching darkly carrying with it the spectres of Carl Perkins and Vince Taylor here gathered and supping heavily at the last chance saloon to craft a superbly hollowed slab of howling head fallen primal blues which for the heads among you sounds not unlike the mighty Flaming Stars in some brooding and surreal Lynchian dreamscape.
