An absolute gem from the 60’s. Black Monk Time was recorded in 1965 in Cologne, Germany by a bunch of disenchanted ext-GI’s from the American army. I’ve pretty much been listening to this exclusively for the past week and still can’t get enough of it.
There is a sense of freedom and willingness for experimentation on this album that is rare of 60’s rock n roll, the banjo of Dave Day is thrashed and abused, guitars are distorted and organs are mashed. Using standard rock song structure The Monks then introduce snippets of their own quirkiness. Gary Burger’s vocals are incredible. They are more wild and unhinged than any other lyricist I’ve heard from that era but at the same time they always sound controlled and never exasperated.
The song I Hate You is incredible.
