This highly obscure album is ostensibly credited to Colonel Sanders, but I'm not sure just how involved he was with the concept.
Then again, I hear a prominent mandolin, an instrument the Colonel was proficient at (he also released an album with his all-mandolin band), so maybe it really is him and not just a band of studio session hacks earning some quick wine money till their next Herb Alpert gig. I dunno.
This record was originally given away at Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in the 1960s.
Colonel Sanders - Spanish Flea
this is awesome. i had no clue such a thing existed. reminds me of booker t and the mg's but with trumpets.
ReplyDeleteHey, Creep, happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a copy of this entire album for many moons, now. I was ecstatic when I found a link on your blog.
Can you repost this link? I would greatly appreciate having a copy of this timeless musical classic.
Cheers!
