Science Gone Mad: Audio eXchange

A tribute to a fine musician of the classic lounge variety.

"A Shot In The Dark" - Reverend Organdrum

"A Shot in the Dark," which you may recognize if you, like me, watched a lot of "Pink Panther" cartoons and had the opportunity to check out shorts of "The Inspector," the crazy French detective with the Spanish sidekick named Deux-Deux. This reverential treatment of one of Henry Mancini's best comes to us by way of the vintage "supergroup" of 5 time Grammy winner Tim Alexander (Asleep At The Wheel) on the Hammond organ, Todd Soesbe on drums, and the incomparible Rev. Horton Heat on guitar. This throwback to the classic three-piece jazz combo, with the good reverend replacing the double bass with his scorching guitar skills, does considerable justice to this classic track.
