Artist: Blue Cheer
Song: Summertime Blues
Album: Vincebus Eruptum
Year: 1968
Label: Philips
Despite being a psych rock band, Blue Cheer churned out one of the heaviest releases of its time with their cover of Eddie Cochran's 'Summertime Blues'. The bass is thundering, the drums sound manic and the guitars are out of control -- which was the perfect recipe for proto heavy metal. Listening to the song carefully, one will instantly remember how wild the drums are -- the drummer doesn't wait for the guitars to pick up on tempo, instead plays quickly and maniacally by itself.
