A Taxing Time!
One of the funkiest albums ever from Junior Parker, released on Groove Merchant in 1971. Here is the Beatles cover of 'Taxman' and sampled by Cypress Hill for "i wanna get high", just for that time of year when those f**king taxes are due...Even more galling this year as all the hard earned cash is going to bail out the Banksters of this world, who made the whole f-in` mess in the first place...see this previous postWith all due respect to the fab four, the funky bluesy version just can`t be matched.
The Beatles dream they are back in the time of Merry Olde England!
