Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse
“headless.jpg”
Eugene McDaniels was a product of his time – an iconoclast who didn’t see any distinction between the discipline of the groove and the wild-ass freedom of the nutty yet provocative idea. Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse, first released in 1971, occupies a funky fringe backwater where soul, rock, R&B, and the protest song aligned with identity politics, theology, astrology, urban affairs, hallucinogenic drugs, and black revolution – an artistic attempt to make war on, rather than love to, the great Satan of Richard Nixon’s America.
Produced by the recently departed Joel Dorn, this album sizzles.
