Vinyl Relics EPYSODE 46: "Black Monk Time" by The Monks

EPYSODE 46: "Black Monk Time". Guest: Monk's bassist Eddie Shaw. This epysode dives deep into "Black Monk Time", the groundbreaking 1966 album by The Monks, with special guest Eddie Shaw — the band’s bassist and author of the memoir also titled Black Monk Time. Hear firsthand stories about the band's wild time in Germany, their proto-punk sound, and how five American GI's accidentally created one of the most radical records of the '60s. I hope you dig this album as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here --> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here --> ⁠[email protected]⁠ ===LINKS=== Buy Eddie's amazing memoir here: https://www.amazon.ca/Black-Monk-Time-Coming-Anti-Beatle/dp/0963337122 Buy some of Ritchie Unterberger's excellent books here: http://www.richieunterberger.com ===AIR OARS END O'MISHUNS=== I referred to a song "Love Can Time The Wild" incorrectly as "Love Can Tame The World".
