Hear it Now
The sixties and seventies rarities that Tarantino chose for his half of
the B-movie homage Grindhouse bristle with analog noise, overdriven
vocals and crusty fuzz guitars -- they're the musical equivalent of the
rumbling old muscle cars his film fetishizes. The tracks range from a
ramshackle-funky, Big Brother and the Holding Company-like cover of "Baby
It's You" (from forgotten blues rockers Smith) to "Hold Tight," a lost
1966 classic by the British group Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich
that sounds like a frat rock version of the Who's "Armenia City in the
Sky." Equally hot are Pacific Gas and Electric's roadhouse take on
"Staggolee," the doomy surf rock of Eddie Baram's "Riot in Thunder Alley"
and Joe Tex's majestic soul ballad "The Love You Save (May Be Your
Own)." It all captures the spooky, exhilarating vibe of speeding on an empty
highway after midnight -- deadly crash possibly included.
