Re-discovering the wicked awesome records from the J. Geils Band lately. One favorite moment from Blow Your Face Out:


Peter Wolf hollers “Do it to it in Detroit City, let me hear you” and the band starts hammering, with Seth Justman starts pounding the piano, Magic Dick plays a wild harmonica solo.

update: KKC looked at me this AM as we’re listening and asks “why is that man looking for love? Why can’t he find it?”
