Very Strange Blend Of Funk, Soul And Country

[Investinsoul]

I just picked up this 45 the other day. I am still struggling to form an opinion this one. Very strange blend of sounds.

The artist is Billy Lee (I don't think its any of the famous Billy Lee's)

The song is Midnight on Boot Hill on the "FEUD" label.

Tell me your opinion of this song and if you know any further info on it. I think its relatively unknown.

According to the site rules, you can't post mp3 files.

Use the Refosoul feature. 'Add Refosoul Clip' at the top of the page.

Almost sounds like they used a backing track left over from some other project....Vocals aren't really a good fit.

I know...that's what I was thinking. I wish I just had a track of the backing. I got really pumped when I heard the first 7 or so seconds and then the vocals came in. I guess they could be worse, but o well.

Keep your opinions and thoughts coming...

Sorry mate but I think thats awful , what were they thinking of ?

[Investinsoul]

Ha...I do too. Just wish that backing had some different vocals.

[Investinsoul]

Ha! Well the 45 did not sell for $9 on ebay. So if anyone wants it for 9 bucks let me know. Would be great to give as a joke gift to someone.
