LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Neo-psych legend and Hendrix devotee Scott Finch is best known for his cult psych-rock trio Gypsy. Sorely overlooked in the USA, in part due to his lack of recorded material, Scott Finch has been a fixture on the Midwest club circuit since the late ’60s. Scott Finch & Blues-O-Delics recorded this triple LP live in Wisconsin and Italy. The veteran psych guitarist, in the company of bassist Peter Alt and drummer Dave Braun, performs a number originals along with a handful of classics by Hendrix, The Allman Bros., Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker, Neil Young and Eric Clapton, without tripping up on the expected or paling in their shadow.
