It's been almost forty-five years since The Blues Magoos have made an album , but they're back and sounding as good as they did in the sixties, with a truly fun disc of material, some new, some old.

      Starting with a generous helping of that sound they created back  in the day, he title track , "Psychedelic Resurrection,"  is a return  to the era of  "Psychedelic Lollipop",  a most welcome song to add  to their canon of work.  "There's a Chance We Can Make  It" 
originally appeared on their 1967 album "Electric Comicbook" and has that  Beatles "Rain" style to it mixed with a Little of Eric Burdon and the
Animals "Don't Bring Me Down" flavor and perhaps a dash of Bowie  vocalizations.  "We Ain't Got Nothing Yet" originally appeared on  their 1966 release "Psychedelic Lollipop"  but it still has that original ring, sung now in spirited fun fashion and all.  


        "D'stinko Me  Tummies on the  Blinko" is quite amusing with catchy lyrics and a melody destined to
get stuck in your head. Check the YouTube video out here:

      Psychedelia may be a fixed genre in the mind of some, but you can  put your dancing shoes on for “There She Goes,”which had appeared on  the 1968 album release entitled "Basic Blues Magoos",  while "I’m Still Playing"  can give the Moody Blues "I’m Just A Singer in a Rock and  Roll Band" a run for its money.  Add to that the Kinks "All Day and All  of the Night" (I’m giving high praise here,) with sprinkles of the vibrations you love delightfully added into the mix.


  "Pipedream"  has a "Monterey"  feel  from, again (probably on a  subconscious level,)  Eric Burdon and the new Animals – a very  psychedelic and trippy feeling  - with a bit of Hendrix style in the  guitar as well, making total sense seeing as it appeared on their 1967
"Electric Comic Book" album.

           "Gotta Get Away", originally appeared on the 1966 "Psychedelic  Lollipop"  has a most interesting tone  while "I just got off from work  " - one  of the few newly written pieces for this project - gives you  that hint of one these eighties type of songs, especially some of the
lyric  content about the weekend and “the boss is a freakin' jerk and  screw my  tie  and shirt... “  it sounds very much like something you  could picture  Huey Lewis and the News doing during that "Workin' for a
livin'"  period.  :Rush Hour" has some fantastic Hendrix-styled guitar  playing while  "Psyche-delight" is a story about the group’s past in  the sixties with stunningly phenomenal guitar straight from the era,  which is the CD delivering as advertised. "Tobacco Road", originally
appearing on their 1966 debut release "psychedelic Lollipop"  - the  Magoos AND  British invasion classic (the Nashville Teens rendition  being a fave of this writer) is served with the justice that’s deserved
for this essential period piece.  The spirit is alive and well, and  the tunes from past albums flow as magnificently as the new  compositions.

John Cooper Clarke coming to Berklee College of Music
Thursday May 14

“When I’m talking to someone and say, ‘Do you know John Cooper Clarke?' and they say, 'Oh yeah, he's a genius,’ I'm then, 'Good, you've saved me a lot of time.'"

– Steve Coogan, actor & comedian




John Cooper Clarke is heading to the U.S. to embark on a national tour for the first time in 35 years, kicking off in Las Vegas on April 30th at the Hard Rock.


Today John Cooper Clarke is adored across Europe as an elder statesman of subversiveart; the witty, political poet of the first UK Punk movement whose blazing creativity survived a bumpy ride through the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s that took down some of his contemporaries. Now he’s back to delight America with a new tour and the downloadrelease of the DVD, Live in London, which is available on iTunes. Recorded at a legendary concert, it features performance of his sardonic, hilarious and revealing poems.He will be performing both classic and new material at nine US shows and Sony Music hasre-released the CD, John Cooper Clarke: The Very Best Of  to coincide with the tour.


You may be familiar with Cooper Clarke’s dry Mancunian wit performing,“Evidently Chickentown” at the end of the, “Stage 5” episode of The Sopranos, but across Europe and among Americans in the know, John Cooper Clark is the poetic political voice of several generations. Cooper Clarke is currently enjoying a great renaissance. His late ‘70s/early 80s recordings on Rabid Records and CBS remain influential, but more importantly his work remains relevant. In the past two years, Cooper Clarke has been part of two worldwide # 1 albums. The Arctic Monkeys covered his poem, “I Wanna Be Yours,” on their mega-selling album, A.M. and heappeared in Ill Manors, the directorial film debut of top UK rapper Plan B,aka Ben Drew. Their duet, “Pity The Plight” appears in the film and on the soundtrack.


It’s been an intriguing journey since his wry social observation fired off in staccato rhythm, first got Cooper Clarke called a punk poet. He worked and toured with leaders of the movement such as: The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Elvis Costello, Richard Hell and Joy Division whose producer, fellow Mancunian Martin Hannett (also of U2 fame) was musical director of Cooper-Clarke’s band, the Invisible Girls. Cooper Clarke’s poetic credentials were cemented by tours with the great American Beat poets Allen Ginsburg and Gregory Corso, effectively hailing the younger Mancunian as their successor. His work has even been added to the national English literature curriculum in the UK alongside Maya Angelou, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Shakespeare.
