"Blues' Theme" #37 9/23/1967

The opening theme to a low-budget biker movie called "The Wild Angels." It starred a pre-"Easy Rider" Peter Fonda with Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd. You may have seen it at the drive-in back in the day...or maybe not, if you had something else going on at the drive-in ;) Davie Allan and the Arrows played on a bunch of those type of soundtracks. Davie had a badass sound with lots of distortion and other effects. Eddie Van Halen said this record was one of his first influences, and he learned to play guitar as a result. That kinda worked out well for Eddie, dontcha think?
