"It is precisely Flynt's lack of interest in a musical `career' that ensures his music remains fascinatingly personal." -- The Wire Taste the magic! Nova'Billy is another edible audible from Henry Flynt's dusty lower Manhattan bunker, and it stands as one of the fullest documents of his tenure with a full working rock band to date. For less than one calendar year, between 1974 and 1975, Henry Flynt's hard-driving, heavy-jamming agit country rock band Nova'Billy embraced bare-knuckled deep-fried groove attacks, bearded hippie jam band workouts, and a monstrous mélange of blues, boogie, and free jazz squeal into a musical soufflé that could only have come together with Flynt cooking. If the Insurrections laid the foundation for Flynt's anti-war garage rock sound, the emergence of Nova'Billy is the realization of his vision of obtuse personal politics, provocative leftwing posturing, and a gleefully recombinant spin on Southern music.
