Wayne County At The Trucks is one of the turning points in rock music; obviously, Bowie's ‘Diamond Dogs’ tour, which came after "The Trucks" production, paid attention to the scenery, band off to the side, costume changes, etc. The 'street language' and generous use of the word 'fuck' in song lyrics opened the doors for the punk rock to follow, and the next generation of cosmetic punks (Holly of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Pete Burns of Dead Or Alive, Boy George) all acknowledge Wayne's initial presence as giving them the courage to do their own thing. I know that's where my courage came from when I started The Psychotic Frogs. The studio version of "Man Enough To Be a Woman", which may or may not have been produced by Mick Ronson, is the ultimate statement about Wayne County, a ground breaking transgender rocker, who influenced the high and mighty, like Bowie, and was never given the proper credit. Wayne was thought by many to be the unacknowledged influence for the film "Hedwig & the Angry Inch", which failed in it's attempt to create it's own version of the majestic reality that, these days, is known as the still rocking, more fierce than ever, Jayne County.

For those who keep searching for lost ‘70s gems, this is an ideal one, both because it was long lost and it is a gem! WHITE FLAME was formed in Connecticut by high-school friends Mark St. John and Rich Ricciuti in the early 1970s. American Rudeness, their only album was recorded between 1977 and 1978 in New Haven and self-released on the band’s own label Rudeness Records. It was in the end a private pressing that never got any distribution outside the band’s state, preventing them from having any success or recognition. Their music is a killer blend of Detroit proto-punk, heroin fueled rock “Berlin style,” with a dash of weirdness (they were huge fans of Frank Zappa). On their title track you can even see similarities to what Wayne County was doing in NYC, or to what British bands like The Count Bishops were up to. It has the wicked touch ala Kim Fowley, and you can feel occasional influences from The Stooges (those wailin’ guitars), MC5 (high energy guitar riffs), and The Velvet Underground (especially on “Blame”). Almost 30 years after its first pressing Munster unearths, for you, this hidden treasure.
