Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 album from the legendary guitarist and former strummer for the Gun Club, the Cramps and others. Kid Congo Powers named his new album Gorilla Rose after the artist/performer. As a teenage boy, Powers met Gorilla Rose in the emerging LA punk scene of the '70s through seminal weirdo band the Screamers. He recalls, 'Gorilla was a close and constant presence and influence on the Screamers and me as a young pup. He was to the Screamers like Bobby Neuwirth was to Dylan: A jester of sorts, sparking many of their great lyric ideas. I still think Gorilla Rose is the most fabulous nom de plume in history. His unsung specter was in my mind a lot last year so I decided to title the album Gorilla Rose to honor his name and bring him into Rock 'n' Roll's ongoing conversation.'
