Liner Note Author: Larry Skoog. Recording information: San Antonio, TX (12/07/1968). Photographer: Chris Strachwitz. A crazed, primal record, Bongo Joe is a deserved cult classic; beating wildly on oil drums, George Coleman delivers bizarre raps including "Innocent Little Doggie" and "Transistor Radio" -- hilarious, edgy stuff. ~ Jason Ankeny
Editorial Reviews ...highly original, elemental, sometimes risque folk blues songs from and about the streets... Dirty Linen
...an album of vitality and mystery....Bongo Joe reveals his philosophy in deeply echoing chant, singing over the boomings of his improvised drumsticks....[his] monologues and dialogues depict a satirical, humorous view of modern man in plastic America... Rolling Stone (09/20/1969)
Banging out repetitive rhythms like a juju master, he drew on his mundane daily experiences to form his sometimes serious (but usually hilarious) lyrics... The Fader
