The Deputies

Artist: The Deputies

LP: Ringo

Song: "Ringo"
[ listen ]

[ listen at 45 rpm ]

Here's yet another .50¢ record from last week's foray into the "as is" bins at Everyday Music on Capitol Hill. The particular deputy who handles lead vocals on "Ringo" sounds lethargic and even a little bored, so I tried playing it at a faster speed, which turns this gloomy gunfighter ballad into a chirpy Frankie Laine song that you can actually dance to. I like that the album's title has been riddled with bullets.
