Radio de Greg Oblivian

'Greg Cartwright', also known by his stage name Greg Oblivian, is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Memphis, Tennessee. He was a founding member of the Memphis garage-bands The Compulsive Gamblers, The Oblivians, Greg Oblivian & the Tip Tops, and for a time, served as an impromptu drummer for '68 Comeback. [1] He currently performs with Reigning Sound based in Asheville, North Carolina. Cartwright first came to prominence in the Memphis garage-rock outfit "The Painkillers" with fellow Memphis native Jack Yarber. After the addition of keyboardist Philip "Flipper" Tubb, drummer Rod "Bushrod" Thomas, and fiddler Greg Easterly, the new lineup was rechristened "The Compulsive Gamblers" and work began on their first four-song EP, Joker, which was recorded in 1991 in a friend's kitchen. The album was released a year later, and was followed by two further disks, Church Goin' and Goodtime Gamblers. By 1995, after the relocation of Thomas and Easterly to New Orleans, the band was finding it difficult to stay together and was forced to split up. Their recordings were compiled on CD under the title Gambling Days are Over, released in 1995 by Sympathy for the Record Industry. [2]
