Death Proof Soundtrack

The overall feel of this soundtrack, but four cuts are of great interest. Pacific Gas & Electric had one huge hit 45, making this version of Staggolee obscure enough to almost sound brand new. The album isn’t even available at this moment. Dave Dee’s biggest hit, Hold Tight, is lovingly remembered here with its psychedelic underpinnings perfect for a hump-day soundtrack. April March is kind of a surprise, sort of a combination April Stevens and Peggy March. Chick Habit sounds right out of a well-meaning 1965 – actually the year the singer was born. 1967 is represented by a Mike Curb composition from an obscure movie, Thunder Alley. This tasty guitar oddio is performed by Eddie Beram - Riot In Thunder Alley. I don’t watch a lotta movies, but this soundtrack is definite fun, and the film title is especially intriguing for this music, which is, as we know, death-proof. Death Proof Soundtrack
