I think they were as good an American band in the original incarnation as CCR. Sadly, quarrels and delusions of grandeur sunk this lineup. Now with the new band in Branson, they will never be taken seriously. They are as least as important as Blondie, but not from NYC nor friends of Jann Wenner (apply same thought to the Monkees)
Yes, this is Paul Revere's men as they were meant to be heard. We get the early semi-hits, then five songs from "Midnight Ride" and six from "Spirit of '67", their masterpieces, then close with two great singles.
Download this....you won't go wrong.
must have been around five years old, but hearing this album reminded me of the good sound that echoed around the walls of my childhood home--not only awesome real american garage sound, but a PR&R chorus can rival anything put out by the beach boys
Look, I know this genre. I've listened to everything from Zachary Thaks to The Sonics to Locksley to the Blues Magoos to The Flaming Groovies and back, and there is no better representation of what is good about American Garage Rock and Roll than this CD. If the only two tracks they ever recorded were Hungry and Ups and Downs, they would still be seminal and vital. Download this baby NOW.
