…continuing my list of the seven wonders of The Great White Shank’s musical world, without a doubt I would have to include The Chambers Brothers’ “Time Has Come Today”.

What is it that makes it one of the seven wonders? Original. Completely psychedelic. Lots of distorted guitar. Echo and reverberation everywhere. Backwards recorded stuff. That damned cowbell. All very ’60s. And all very much what The Great White Shank finds intriguing and alluring beyond all measure. Simply put, there is no other song like it. If you want to take a totally far-out trip back into the late ’60s, you can do no better than “Time Has Come Today”. Crank it up, man. VERY loud. Then disappear into yourself. Dance around the room. Embarass yourself before your family and neighbors. Feel the joy and find your own space. Groovy.
