British artist Billy Childish regularly recycles his own work, and this time Troubled Mind – The Buff Medways version (2002) can be found on several best of compilations, but with Thee Headcoats he recorded it more than ten years earlier, as Troubled Times – gets an extra life, as the A-side of a new 45 from Spinout Nuggets. The gritty blues sauce, with howling harmonica and guitars, works great here. Flipside Ranscombe Farm Boogie is an amazing, instrumental blues stomper, taken from the Kings Of The Medway Delta LP (2020), but even better in this format.
Troubled Mind b/w Ranscombe Farm Boogie, produced by William ‘Spook’ Loveday, is out now digitally and on vinyl 7″ through Spinout Nuggets. Featuring Billy Childish (vocals, guitar), Julie Hamper (bass), ‘Bludy’ Jim Riley (harp) and Wolf Howard (drums).
