Wizzard released “Angel Fingers” as a single in 1973 and it topped the charts in the U.K. for a week. The band was formed by Roy Wood, a former member of Electric Light Orchestra, shortly after ELO’s first album release. It’s a pretty cool sounding ballad for its time.

Loading ...Umoja is a band from Puerto Rico and that is about as much info as I can find on them. This song was recommended by a friend who had a digital copy of the tune. I haven’t been able to find this song or other tracks by Umoja anywhere on the web.

They have done quite a bit of touring since their formation in 2006. “Frankie’s Gun” is off of the album Adventures of The Felice Brothers Vol. 1 which has 12 other great tracks to check out. I really like the lyrics so I am posting them below the player.
My car goes
Chicago
Every weekend to pick up some cargo
I think I know the bloody way by now, Frankie
And turn the god damn radio down, thank you
Pull over
Count the money
But don’t count the thirty in the glove box buddy
That’s for to buy Lucille some clothes
Bang bang bang went Frankie’s gun
He shot me down Lucille (x2)
He shot me down (x3)
Work zones double fines
Don’t pass the double lines
Trailer McDonald’s rest stop trailer double wide
I saw a man hit my mom one time, really
I hurt him so damn bad I had to hide in Jersey
Called my mama told her
In the dresser
There’s ten or twenty dollars but there ain’t no lesser
That’s for to take my sister to the picture show
Bang bang bang went Frankie’s gun
He shot me down Lucille (x2)
He shot me down (x3)
Sha nay na sha nay na na na …
(Mumbling)
Slip make a fender shine
Frankie you’re a friend of mine
Got me off a bender after long legged Brenda died
I thought we might be on a roll this time Frankie
I could have swore the box said Hollywood blanks but
You see my mama
Please tell her
I left a little rock in a box in the cellar
That’s for to wear till kingdom come
Bang bang bang went Frankie’s gun
He shot me down Lucille (x2)
He shot me down (x3)
Sha nay na sha nay na na na …

Check out Saltanas De Merkaillo to hear an Ojos de Brujo song with a little more Hip-Hop influence. Shout out to Laini for the recommendation.
