Forgotten Songs: Gene Vincent- Crazy Beat

From the 1963 album 'The Crazy Beat of Gene Vincent', this isn't one of Vincent's most well known songs. Straying from his trademark rockabilly safety net of the 50s, Vincent adapts his music to a new decade through mimicking a Phil Spector-style 'Wall of Sound'. The track's eerily cool backing vocals made it a breath of fresh air then, whilst the song still sparkles with edginess today.
