The Chieftones – The New Smooth and Different Sound

Description

Billed as ‘Canada’s All Indian Band’, the Tsimshian Nation garage band The Chieftones stormed the US in the mid-1960s with their own brand of native rock & roll.

More Buddy Holly than Link Wray, ‘The New Smooth and Different Sound’ compiles their debut single for Wisconsin’s lauded Cuca label and adds a dozen previously unissued demos from their brief time in the Driftless region.

LP available on Marbled Ash coloured vinyl.
