One For The Weekend: Lacy Gibson & The Arkestra

Here's Lacy Gibson performing "I'm Gonna Unmask The Batman" backed by members of Sun Ra's Arkestra. 

Happy Birthday Lacy Gibson!

Remembering Chicago bluesman Lacy Gibson with "I Am Gonna Unmask The Batman" cut with his brother-in-law Sun Ra. 

Alternate themes for Batman: Lacy Gibson

Lacy Gibson's funky "I'm Gonna Unmask The Batman" w/ Sun Ra's Arkestra should've been used in the new Matt Reeves flick.  

Barrence Whitfield & The Savages blast off into Sun Ra's Omniverse

Barrence Whitfield and crew off their own twisted take on Sun Ra's classics on Songs From the Sun Ra Cosmos out May 3rd on Modern Harmonic.

Garage & soul screamer Barrence Whitfield – backed by his Soul Savage Arkestra – channels the Saturnian ruler of the omniverse with a soul-tripping exploration of Sun Ra favorites—from the explosive “Nuclear War” to the shimmering exotica of “Love In Outer Space” to the Funkadelicized "Everything Is Space."

The new Songs From The Sun Ra Cosmos album (out May 3) was cut for Modern Harmonic by Kevin Gray with initial copies pressed on gold vinyl at Third Man in Detroit. The liner notes were penned by Irwin Chusid and Brother Cleve. Check out Sun Ra's own versions of "I'm Gonna Unmask The Batman" and "Muck Muck" which sound like they could've been voiced by Barrence Whitfield. Check out the Sun Ra originals after Modern Harmonic's trailer for Barrence Whitfield Soul Savage Arkestra's Songs From The Sun Ra Cosmos (below).
