D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Captain America Swings!
Sure, Captain America has been in the news, what with Steve Rogers dying and all. And there’s a Captain America movie in the works that’s due out sometime after Iron Man 2. But that’s not why I’m spotlighting the Star-Spangled Avenger today. I just really like Captain America!
Plus, I found this really cool Captain America song by Alexis Korner, about whom I know absolutely nothing. But what a great record! This tune swings like a gate. And given that Captain America is a real swingin’ shield-slingin’ super-hero, it seems apropos.
So, apropos of nothing, here’s a patriotic (I think) song about that red, white and blue super soldier whose name I need not mention again. Click the link below to enjoy!
Alexis Korner - Captain America
— DJ David B.
Alexis korner was a pivotal member of the British Blues scene of early 60s. His band, Blues Inc. employed Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Jack Bruce, Charlie Watts, among many others, at one time or another.
never heard this song before. very cool.
After I shared this record with the ITCH readers I did look up Alexis and was very impressed by his work and amazed at my ignorance. That’s the joy of collecting: always discovering something new.
