’68 “Summertime Blues” (from Two Parts Viper - Deluxe)

The deluxe album is complete with four bonus tracks including two versions of the classic “Summertime Blues” originally written in 1958 by Eddie Cochran, then made famous in 1968 by Blue Cheer.

“I have wanted to record a cover song for quite sometime. We do a ton of homages live, everything from At The Drive In, Paramore, Janice Joplin, Zeppelin and Notorious B.I.G. to name a few. It varies from night to night, but these are always just small bits, maybe just a riff in the middle, or a signature lyric. I really wanted to record a song, in its entirety, that was not written by me. So I did. I had several in mind, and someday I might get to those, but the song Summertime Blues just seemed to make the most sense, especially Blue Cheer’s version. Don’t get me wrong, I love Eddie Cochran’s version too (in fact you should go listen to it right now, it is so good) but with the rawness that Blue Cheer conjured up (in all their songs) it is easy for me to gravitate to it. All in all, this is just another chance for me to pay homage to another great band, and another great song.”
