The X Factor


I know what you have been saying -there has not been enough late 70's /early 80's LA Punk on CCM recently and do you know what you are right
So here is a track from Wild Gift by X on Slash Records from 1981.This album was produced by Ray Manzarek of the Doors who sadly left us recently.

X consisted of John Doe on bass and vocals, Billy Zoom in Guitars (my nephew watches someone called Tommy Zoom on Cee Beebies - who I'm fairly sure is no relation),D.J Bonebrake on drums and Exene Cervnka on vocals.

X were a big influence on Ryan Adams - so much so that he has their X symbol tattooed prominently on his arm.

  1. Good track. Never heard anything by them, was expecting more of an obvious 1970s punk sound.
