Bourbons - An Esoteric Feeling...

[soundog III]

Sundry happenings of another Royal Family having been snagging mucho bandwidth these past few hours, how about expending a bit of communal G45 energy digging up some background on this most mysterious of Lone Star legends?

Long overdue, it'd be a groove if anyone could shed a snap of illumination on this fave TX. band. Lately it seems there's been a lotta fevered queries regarding their stylistic fellow travellers, the Sanctus bunch. Do the Bourbons rate anything less?

We must waste no time...

It was a very short-lived group from San Antonio. The singer was named Lee Poundstone (the "Lee" in the songwriter's credits). I tracked him down via email some years back. Instead of relating anything useful about the band, he instead quoted from Hans Kesteloo's liner notes to "Texas Psychedelia From The Sixties."
Our correspondence ended at that point. Once the brain cells are gone, they can't be regenerated.

I laughed for an hour !!!

I've always loved the overall bleakness and refrain of "A Dark Corner":

We must waste no time
For tomorrow, I regain my mind

However, this verse:

An ugly girl from present time
Can't say things to choke my mind

Ruins the whole song. A completely superfluous, very clumsy non sequitur in this lyrical context, destroying the mood, and painfully reminding the listener that this is an average garage band straining mightily to overcome their amateurishness. And failing, badly.
