EPYSODE 49: "Everything But" by The Kitchen Cinq.
Guest: The Kitchen Cinq's Jim Parker.
This week we spin "Everything But" , the lone 1967 full-length by Amarillo’s own The Kitchen Cinq, a band that bridged Texas garage energy with West Coast pop ambitions. Often overlooked yet deeply loved by collectors, the album showcases sharp songwriting, tight harmonies, and a raw edge that set it apart from its era’s polished productions. Even better, we’re joined by guitarist Jim Parker, who offers exclusive commentary on the band’s journey from Amarillo to L.A., their connection with Lee Hazlewood, and the making of this cult classic.
I hope you dig "Everything But" as much as I do.
