On Your Mixed Tape 11 - Dr Feelgood


Dr Feelgood - She Does It Right 



Before Punk broke in the UK the Pub Rock circuit was the hot shit.

No band was cooler than Dr Feelgood, and if you
start talking to a 50+ about Dr Feelgood its possible that
that person don´t stop tell you how great they were.

I agree. Wilco Johnson guitar playing was really one of its own.
