Because there's just so much great music in the world, I kind of have an unwritten policy of not showcasing the same bands, but sometimes, rules are just made to be broken, and even though we've presented the music of Paul Revere & The Raiders twice already, I just have to do it again.
Besides, if the damn Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame won't recognize them as one of the best bands in the history of rock & roll, I sure will.
I was listening to this song the other night and had completely forgotten about it. It comes from their album "The Spirit Of '67," which was actually released in 1966, and instead of Mark Lindsay singing, this song was written and sung by Mike Smith, the drummer in the band.
I love this tune, and it sounds like something from the late 70's or early 80's, not 1966.
Recorded sixty years ago, and sounding as fresh as ever, this is a good way to start a new year!
