Tribute to Big Star's "El Goodo" MP3

via Fred Mills article for BLURT online

Jeffrey Dean Foster (ex. the Right Profile, the Carneys, the Pinetops), a longtime Winston-Salem musician whose music over the years has clearly been inspired by Chilton & Big Star (go here to read a Blurt story that includes some comments about Foster performing live in NC last year) sent us this MP3 of his version of Big Star's "Ballad of El Goodo" and asked us to share it with Blurt readers.

Foster sings and plays most of the instruments with the exception of drums and bass - those were handled by none other than Mitch Easter. It was recorded several years ago for a movie soundtrack, but by our way of thinking, it should have been included on that Big Star tribute album awhile back - it clearly would have been a highlight.
