Long before Robert Palmer was addicted to making boring pop music in the 80's, he put out some decent solo work and made some interesting music in a couple of bands. One such band, Vinegar Joe, also featured the vocal talents of Elkie Brooks. And let me tell you, this band was all about Elkie. She was a belter.
The overall vibe of Vinegar Joe's Rock n' Roll Gypsies album from 1972 was good time rock music. They even dared to cover Jerry Lee Lewis's Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On which Elkie handled well. Here is an original track written by the band's guitarist, Pete Gage.
