"Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are in the U.S.A. (L.A.? Atlanta ?) of 2005 for "Crazy", the debut single from Gnarls Barkley, first released on the Downtown label in 2006...

"Gnarls Barkley is/was the duo of singer CeeLo Green and musician/dj/producer Danger Mouse. CeeLo had been part of the "Dirty South" Atlanta Hip Hop scene and Mouse had spent time in Georgia, London and Los Angeles. They had known each other for many years before they made this record. "Crazy" is not only Spaghetti Western inspired, the writers of "Last Man Standing" from the 1968 flick "Django, Prepare a Coffin" receive co-writers credits. Undoubtedly one of the great soul records of the 21st Century - play loud." - KV
