Take Me to the River by The Gizmos (1978)


The Gizmos were a short-lived punk band(weren't they all) from Bloomington, Indiana. They certainly didn't look the part with their short haircuts and relatively conservative dress. See here for a live performance of the Al Green classic. However, their sound was on-the-nose punk.

I'm not sure if this recording is actually from 1978, but it appeared on an album, The Gizmos: 1978-1981 Never Mind the Gizmos, Here's the Gizmos. Since the live recording seemed early, I'm going with an earlier date as a guess.
