“I’m Bad” was the first American album by Kim Fowley after 1968’s “Outrageous” (with the Swedish LP “The Day The Earth Stood Still” in between). Released in 1972, it finds Fowley perfecting his wild, crazed, rock & roll outlaw persona, at times invaded by the spirit of Captain Beefheart. He gathered a mighty fine set of musicians for the band, including Mars Bonfire (Steppenwolf) on guitar and Pete Sears (Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna) on bass.
