The Great Anything (Deluxe Edition) (CD)

The Great Anything comes hot on the heels of Fat Lip and Paolo Apollo Negri’s SxSW Odyssey. It’s the blistering raw power of Apollo and our collective soul lain to waste with the seventies fueled soundtrack of his heart and mind. The place where The Blues, rock and funk exploded into a glorious fireball of peace and unity, and for a generation wiped out the vapid excuses for racism, violence, and greed… a place where love never sounded and tasted so good. Organ-driven, soul-drenched The Great Anything is that place again, as if we never left it… a place that we desire to be… a place we need to be… a place we were born to be.

The new Deluxe Edition (digital download only) features an exclusive bonus track, the single version of “Paparazzi”, originally published on limited edition 45 by Hammondbeat back in 2009.
