i've recently been asked by a few people how i got into garage. being introduced to music at such a young age i really have to hand it over to my mom & dad for being the inspiration. i remember taking numerous road trips as a kid and there was ALWAYS music playing in the background. they played an array of great stuff ranging from 50/60's rock, surf, doo-wop to classic motown - but - i always took a special liking when i heard something noisy blaring from the speakers. 

so in ode to them, i've collected some garage tracks that i've held in high regards growing up over the years. a majority of these tracks were released during the 60's, as a matter of fact i don't think anything on here was released passed 1970. i'd also like to point out that there are some killer texas bands in here too - including the nomads from my hometown of ft. worth!
