Lucky LPH 939 – Fooled (1934-2009)

Fooled: Ausgetrickst oder Hereingelegt. Das trifft jedenfalls nicht für die Musikauswahl zu. Hier geht es von The Carter Family über Screamin‘ Jay Hawkins zu den The Mothers of Invention. Dann schauen kurz bei Little Feat vorbei, um dann bei den Residents zu landen. Phantastisch!
