[bomp] essential fuzzzz

[Joe Emery <jemery@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i know there were incidental uses of fuzz here and there in the early 60s,
and for all i know hendrix was using a true fuzzbox (as opposed to an amp w/
blown speaker) before him, but to me fuzz guitar starts with davie allan.
mosrite fuzzrite pedal.  blue's theme, fuzz theme... actually the whole
blue's theme and cycledelic sounds records.  if i were doing 6 hours on fuzz
guitar, i'd give at least 2 of those hours to davie allan.

and of course, the band to pick up on the idea and run with it with
spectacular results was the ventures.  wild things is an awesome rec.
(their version of sweet pea kills, fuzzy & wild... that whole record is
great.)  2,000 lb bee single is really great as well -- i'm thinking that
was earlier than the wild things rec but i'm not sure.

i think the everly bros rec w/ fuzz is one of the tunes on either the beat n
soul rec or maybe rock n soul rec.

my 2 cents...
