"Hi
there –
come on in!"
For the unconverted, the Screaming Blue Messiahs in their prime
were an unholy amalgam of blues, punk, country, and rockabilly.
The foundation was the muscular rhythm section of Kenny Harris (drums)
and Chris Thompson (bass). On top of this rode Bill Carter's stream-of-consciousness
vocals and stuttering, howling guitar.
The best British blues band of the eighties, and the best live band ever.
