After Galen Niles joined the Outcasts as their new lead guitarist, the band recorded another classic called “1523 Blair”.
The unusual name is taken from the street address for a recording studio that was operated in Houston by Doyle Jones. One recent reviewer said of this song (as posted on www.officenaps.com): “The music on this selection is jarringly experimental, the spirit is possessed fervor. ‘1523 Blair’ is one minute and forty seven seconds long because it couldn’t have possibly been any longer.”
Galen Niles was later a member of the past UARB Ultra and a future UARB Homer. The Wikipedia article on the Outcasts can be found at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outcasts_(Texas_band) .
YouTubehas several songs by Linda Pierre King, including her best, “Hard-Lovin’ Babe” that was recorded with some band called the Outcasts, but not the Outcasts that I talked about above that included Galen Niles. This song can be heard here, as taken from the new CD that has a somewhat cleaner sound than my copy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CF_BWyxfNg .
