HE DID THAT SONG?

Fu-huck. The past is littered with awesome yet somehow still ignored artists. Take Jody Reynolds for instance. You'd be hard pressed to find many in your circle of know-it-alls who are well acquainted with his work. I think I first heard him on Probe Is Turning-On the People, which is like a crap drawer full of semi-obscurites and oddball-ities, almost all worth a listen. There's very little text to read, so it's like a just-busted pinata spilling out thrift store records. (Or maybe I first heard him on "Spread the Good Word"...)

Where was I? Oh yeah, Jody Reynolds. Just listen to him on "Fire of Love". The guitar, if you can summon your imagination, sounds like Duane Eddy after Link Wray told him to slow it down. The vocals? Maybe a little tougher "Lonesome Town" Ricky Nelson. Confused? That's why: just listen. He does some upbeat stuff too, but early slower stuff does it for me.

After I initially heard him, I ran into a post on the Hound Blog. There's three respectable blogs right there that have posted "Fire of Love". Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban (by Debbie D) also posted it, and the recent posting at Diddy Wah makes five. All of them deserve a bookmark, trust me. And read the text at those sites, even the ones with just scraps. Jody Reynolds is really someone you should meet.
