Sons Of Stone


The internet tells me that this song came out in 2011. I thought it was more recent than that. It doesn't really matter as it sounds like it could have come out in 1968. Sons Of Stone is the title track from the debut album by Michigan band The People's Temple, a fried piece of acid rock/60s pysche, twin guitars coiling around each other, amps feeding back and an upper register vocal that surfaces above the Nuggets maelstrom to ask 'would you care if I died?'

(And while I'm here, thanks for sharing everything. Ten years, all killer, no filler.)
