Keb Darge Presents the Best of Ace Sixties Garage Punk

After the success of Keb Darge’s 2023 Ace Rockabilly compilation, the legend returns with another collection of music close to his heart. On Keb Darge Presents The Best Of Ace Sixties Garage Punk, the smooth-headed maestro pulls open his curtains to reveal a selection of US garage stompers from the 60s. “Though there are a couple of ‘never before on vinyl’ tunes here for serious collectors, this compilation is aimed at those folk who are just getting into it,” states Keb. “I have picked a selection of my favourites from the nice cheap and easy to find stuff up to the four figure and bloody hard to find stuff.” Artists such as the Hooterville Trolley, the Litter, the Music Machine, the Venturie “5”, the Lyrics, and the Nightcrawlers reflect back light towards British invasion bands like the Who, the Kinks, and the Rolling Stones, home-grown garage flowers, and the dark end of the psychedelic street. Laced with fuzzed guitar, enthusiasm, a driving beat, and an attitude that was proto-punk, this music remains fresh and is already being embraced by a new generation. With liner notes from Keb and housed in a sleeve by Robin Banks – who also did the artwork for Keb’s Rockabilly compilation – this is an essential purchase.
