Synopsis

Album Description
"Flynt rethreads the sounds of early rock 'n' roll--the rude bleat of Big Jay McNeeley's sax, Chuck Berry's briar patch guitar riffs, the slapback shuffle of Carl Perkins, and the propulsive piano of Jerry Lewis--and swings it overhead for his own unruly lariat. That an avant-garde thinker created music this glaringly unpretentious and wholly alive in the conceited environs of pre-punk New York is accomplishment enough ... one intuits that this is how rock `n' roll felt at the beginning: a sputtering, barely-controllable cyclone of dance floor energy and joyful noise." -- Stop Smiling Dharma Warriors was the elemental guitar/drum rock concoction of Henry Flynt and C.C. Hennix. In 1983, the pair hooked up in Woodstock at Hennix's rented house and let freedom ring with two lengthy boombox recordings. "Warriors of the Dharma" and "Mount Fuji On My Mind" are classics of unrefined blues boogie and unhemmed stoner rock.
