Chilton has had a really bizarre career. At 16 he had some hits as the lead singer of the Box Tops and then in some band called Big Star. In the 70’s he was a significant player in the CBGB scene, during which time he released “an album called Like Flies on Sherbert, produced by Chilton with Jim Dickinson at Phillips Recording and Ardent Studios, which featured his own interpretations of songs by artists as disparate as the Carter Family, Jimmy C. Newman, Ernest Tubb, and K. C. and the Sunshine Band, along with several originals. While criticized by some as a druggy mess, this album is considered by many to be a lo-fi masterpiece.” In the 80’s I guess he moved to New Orleans and did a bunch of shit I can’t keep up with. All I know is I like the heaviness of this song. I don’t even know what album it’s from or anything. But I think he’s a valid personage of musical interest.
