OKIE DOKIE STOMP THE ULTIMATE INSTRUMENTAL BLUES EXTRAVAGANZA




Why would you listen to KISS or any one of hundreds of wannabe glam rock bands when you can listen to Michael Mann AKA HOLLYWOOD FATS whipping up blues guitar magic like he does on the one instrumental off the one and only HOLLYWOOD FATS BAND album from 1979 ROCK THIS HOUSE titled OKIE DOKIE STOMP. Half the album were covers but as far as i know this is an original composition, and given AL BLAKE didn't provide vocals on this song and Fats could let loose on his Fender Strat without having to keep in synch with any singing the result is simply a no-nonsense, ripsnorting, electrifying blues guitar extravanganza, the blues equivalent of Eddie Van Halen's ERUPTION.
