#201 Craig Moore (of Gonn) with the Nevermores

This episode, I have something really special. It's a performance from the Show-me Blowout by '60s garage rocker Craig Moore. Craig Moore was one of the original members of the 1960s band Gonn from Keokuk, Iowa. Now I don't really expect most of you to have heard of Gonn because they never really broke out as a national act. But one of their records, "Blackout of Gretely" did become a classic long after the band broke up when collectors started digging up forgotten garage rock recordings from the '60s, and it was included on the essential collection of underground garage rock, Nuggets. The band recorded about 13 songs in their short carreer in the '60s and one other one, "Doin' Me In," got some notoriety in the late '90s when it was finally released for the first time on the compilation released by AIP records (one of the Bomp labels). And that is the song I have for you on this episode of LO-FI SAINT LOUIS, Craig Moore performed this song with The Nevermores (our own local St. Louis garage rock gods) at the Show-Me Blowout a couple of weeks ago. Craig is 61 years old now and a grandfather, but he still rocks harder than most kids a third of his age, and he still has that classic scream.
