EPYSODE 46: "Black Monk Time", by The Monks.
Guest: Monk's bassist Eddie Shaw.
This epysode dives deep into "Black Monk Time", the groundbreaking 1966 album by The Monks, with special guest Eddie Shaw, the band’s bassist and author of the memoir also titled "Black Monk Time". Hear firsthand stories about their wild time in Germany, their proto-punk sound, and how five American GI's accidentally created one of the most radical records of the '60s.
Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you dig this album as much as I do.

===AIR OARS END O'MISHUNS===
I referred to a song "Love Can Time The Wild" incorrectly as "Love Can Tame The World". Oopsie.
