A little known fact is that when Don Wharton is not recording raw gospel folk funk storysong masterpieces or posing with his family in budget photo studios he likes to dig through records at the Cousins Vinyl Dollar Store. Don’t tell Don, but we just added a ton more. Better get there before he does.

High Time is by far my favorite 5 album. It blows my mind that it doesn’t get the credit it deserves by critics and proto-punk fans. Sister Anne, Baby Won’t Ya, and Over and Over are all balls to the wall rockers that make this a great, great party album. Miss X is also a beautiful number, showcasing Tyner’s melancholy vocals. Skunk (sonically speaking) features Bob Seger on percussion. The 5 were changing here with Sonic Smith writing half of the album. The fact that they broke up after this is as sad as Hendrix or Buddy Holly checking out before the wave reached its apex. At least we have some Sonic’s Rendezvous material to fill the void.
