Tim Timebomb and Friends, the latest side project from Rancid’s Tim Armstrong, are streaming a cover of Elmore James’ “Wild About You Baby”. Here’s what Tim had to say about the song:
“Elmore James was a radio repairman, so he reworked his guitar amps, getting them to make raw, distorted sound… we’re talking pre heavy rock amps that came in the later 1960s. He was way ahead. As a songwriter and bottleneck slide guitar player he has influenced bucket loads of aspiring musicians. His backing band The Broomdusters from Chicago were the cream of the crop.”
You can stream the song here. It will be available on iTunes April 9.
Tim Timebomb and Friends have been releasing a long series of singles on iTunes every week since the beginning of December 2012 through Hellcat Records.
