The Guy Hamper Trio returns with new single Tennessee In Taulkinham b/w A Surprise For You, No Surprise For Me a.k.a two tons of mod grooving. Besides the trio, both tracks also feature James Taylor. What he of the quartet? Yes, him! Yes, really! And he’s still got game as you’ll see from both sides of the wax here. Tennessee In Taulkinham is the fiery uptempo A-side on which Taylor’s Hammond vies with Hamper’s guitar fuzz to see who can make the most noise while the slower-burning B-side delivers more bluesy, psychedelic business. If you dig Big Boss Man or The Qualitons – get on it. The ‘Trio might have started its musical career after both of those outfits but its constitutent members were doing it in different bands long before. Limited to 500 copies.
