THE BLACK AND BLUES - Come To Me
ALBUM Come To Me (7", Single) (1968)
Ripping fuzz guitar? Check. Strong melody that will worm its way into your consciousness, delivered in raucous fashion by a confident vocalist? Check. Wigged out guitar break verging on the raga-esque? Check. Anderson, Indiana’s The Black and Blues did indeed have all the bases covered on ‘Come To Me’, the a-side of their debut single issued by United Artists (yes, a major label!) in November 1967.
Flipside ‘Bye Bye Baby’ takes a Bo Diddley ‘Mona’-style rhythm complete with harmonica and adds vocals with very much a folk-rock feel to them, and mixes in some very neat guitar work for good measure.
