AMAZING!

JUAN DE LA CRUZ - HIMIG NATIN (PHIL.)

First release of this essential album (1973) by hard-rock powerhouse power trio (a band, not a man) from the Philippines, who flourished in the 1970s-their first studio only album.

Totally rocked out bluesy stoner jams, with sex and party obsessed lyrics-"get drunk all day, get down all night"; "I'll just wait for you down in the alley / and I'll show you how it can be"-that are pure rock n roll.

It's not clear who's singing (probably the drummer, American Joseph Smith, who previously played in the equally primal Japanese psych/rock band Speed, Glue, & Shinki), but he's got the perfect delivery for this stuff, which includes the garage-psych great, I Wanna Say Yeah.
