Outrageous (Kim Fowley album)
Outrageous is the third album by American singer-songwriter Kim Fowley, released in 1968 through Imperial Records.
Release and reception
Outrageous is perhaps the most renowned of Fowley's solo output and is his only album to chart on the United States' Billboard 200. In January 2003 Julian Cope selected it as the album of the month, calling it "a shamanic rock’n’roll album made by the ultimate chancer/huckster/gleeman."[3] Less enthusiastic was music journalist Robert Christgau, who rated it "E", his second-worst rating (on a scale of A+ to E-), and stated, "I don't understand how he continues to earn a living, but he does." (Fowley eventually did earn an E- from Christgau for his 1972 release I'm Bad.)[2]
