Black Speck (original unedited version)
O. B. McClinton
Mercury 73817
(1976)
O. B. McClinton grew up on a farm near Memphis owned by his Reverend father. Growing up, he became a big fan of Hank Williams around age 10. His first attempt at music was all R&B but he couldn't break through, so he returned to country.
"Black Speck," in its censored version, would just dip below the top 100 on the jukebox charts, and nothing more... this uncensored version... is certainly NSFW.😅
A wild song poking fun at the racism and bigotry of Country music, making the protagonist a hero that harkens back to other characters of African American mythos.
It also pays nod to several Charley Pride hits....
