After the success of Keb Darge’s 2023 Ace Rockabilly compilation (CHD 1637) the legend returns with another collection of music close to his heart.On “Keb Darge Presents The Best Of Ace Sixties Garage Punk" the smooth-headed maestro pulls open his curtains to reveal a selection of US garage stompers from the 60s.Artists like the Hooterville Trolley, the Litter, the Music Machine, the Venturie 5, the Lyrics and the Nightcrawers reflect back light towards British invasion bands like the Who, the Kinks and the Rolling Stones, home-grown garage flowers and the dark end of the psychedelic street. Laced with fuzzed guitar, enthusiasm, a driving beat and an attitude that was proto-punk this music remains fresh and is already being embraced by a new generation.With liner notes from Keb and housed in a sleeve by Robin Banks -who also did the artwork for Keb’s Rockabilly compilation - this is an essential purchase.
