Song(s) of the Day # 551 Dr. Feelgood



'They (Dr. Feelgood), looked as if they'd come together in some unsavory section of the army.' Mick Farren

On a whim yesterday, after work, I went to see the Wilko Johnson film, The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson. Great to bump into a couple of old friends there from The Record Player which was a main inspiration for me starting this blog and we went for a couple of drinks afterwards to discuss it and life and related matters. The film was just great. Verging on profound. Very much focused on the whole fundamental issue of life and death, inspired by the remarkable recent history of Johnson himself. I'll leave you to investigate. In the meantime, here are a couple of mid-seventies TV clips of him and his old band.


'(Wilko) Like a clockwork mouse on rails.'
