Been listening to James Booker all day - as Dr John described him, "the best black, gay, one-eyed junkie piano genius New Orleans has ever produced."
There's a nice homage documentary on him called Bayou Maharajah (2013). Rubbed shoulders with almost everybody - Little Richard, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, BB King, Aretha Franklin, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, etc. He served time and played in a makeshift band in prison with Chris Kenner an even more unsung NOLA musician I posted about before who also died young. And he got out of doing more time by giving piano lessons to then attorney general's young son, Harry Connick Jr (!?), and likely invented the term Gonzo.
Booker started releasing fun little singles at 14y/o (as Little Booker - "Doin' the Hambone" etc) and eventually became quite known as a wildly talented pianist and for his flamboyant "glorious chaos" as Hugh Laurie of all people put it, and his drug addictions that he eventually died bc of at only 43y/o.

My friend just told me about this band Death..... ahead of their time, predating Ramones/Wire which this song reminds me of, and unknown for decades? Jack White has become a big fan. Most of the album is hardcore punk-rock; 'Let the World Turn' is appealing smooth with breathless breaks; 'Politicians in My Eye' ever relevant ("Reaching out, shaking hands, Making friends and other plans").
