One of the most influential early Rockabilly singers - songwriters. His most famous hits "Twenty Flight Rock", "Summertime Blues", "C'mon Everybody" and "Somethin' Else" became favorite standards for so many future rock and punk bands, from #TheWho to #SexPistols, from #BlueCheer to #StrayCats.

📀 Album of the Week
@Venice_Rocks
📌16 January 1968
Blue Cheer
📀 Vincebus Eruptum
#AcidRock #HardRock #HeavyMetal
55 years ago an obscure rock band from San Francisco, #USA called Blue Cheer released his debut studio album.
Recorded in December 1967, intended as a collection of Rock Blues cover and original songs with a heavier sound, Vincebus Eruptum ("Controlled Chaos") delievered something hardly, if not never, heard before.
This album is widely considered the first Heavy Metal even if this genre grew and developed years later, and #BlueCheer are regarded as the first band to bring the definition of "Power Trio" (guitar, bass, drums + vocals).
Vincebus Eruptum was also a great critical and commercial success, never repeated by the band with his following albums.
In this album:
#DickiePeterson – vocals, bass
#LeighStephens – guitar
#PaulWhaley – drums
