From LA to Sac an open garage door

"Basement Wall was a Baton Rouge, LA, gumbo of '60's Zombies Yardbirds. They had regional hits, proto punk, " Never Existed", in the South East and were good enough to lay down these fun tracks. They are of a time, sincere and no fear!
The other side of this CD is New Breed out of Sacramento, CA.,
New Breed was the more important band. New Breed had a few local hits in the Bay Area that just skipped the Top 40. This CD has their local collectable hits "Green Eyed Woman" "Want Ad Reader". New Breed morphed into Glad, releaded an LP, then into Redwing on Fantasy trying to be the latter day Creedence. Didn't work out well. But, Tim Schimdt, the guitarist and lead vocal, went on to Eagles and apparently had a fine career... !!
This CD is fun for archaeology
(PS I have New Breed/ Glad/ Redwing history more posters etc
let me know if you care!)"
