Some of you might know King Lee from his random late night appearances at the Spellcaster Lodge in New Orleans 9th ward. Or you might know him from his backup vocals on the 2006 Quintron slow jam entitled "Dream Captains". Or he might have fixed your tire at the St. Claude Tire Shop. If you are an old school cop, he might have fixed it at Danny's service station way back in the day.
This single is a late night ode to the St. Claude Tire Shop recorded by Quintron and King Lee just blocks away at the Spellcaster Lodge. If you wanna hear the much-talked-about blurry connection between Caribbean rhythms and inner city New Orleans, its all over this incredibly slow drum machine / echo organ jam. All the extra clanky sounds are samples from the actual tire shop that were dropped in the next day. Lee's vocal is just him going off on all his friends and relatives who work at the shop. The list of nicknames is impressive to say the least. So impressive that the song can't be contained on one side! The original take was about 15 minutes and it got edited down to the essential 3 min 30 seconds per side. This 45 is truly the sound of the streets without drama and gunfire - a tire shop army of love and beer and tires and air compressors and echo and organs and tires!
