A Great CD of a Killer 1960s Album!!!
What's not to love about this CD?
I've known this album for about 40 years, but this is the first time I'm hearing the compact disc edition, and what a treat! No more little ticks and pops appearing as I wear it out from multiple listens, which this CD is gonna get.
Live 'n Wild, recorded on February 6, 1966 at the Princess Hotel in Hamilton, Bermuda, is an extraordinary garage-rock document, embracing mid-60s punk, elements of early 60s dance-rock, and slightly later folk-rock and proto-psych-like flourishes, all sung with a beguiling mix of class and abandon. The Savages -- Paul Muggleton, Jimmy O'Conner, Bobby Zuill, and Howie Rego -- were a tight outfit on stage, as documented here, and they knew their capabilities and their limitations, as players and singers. They push those limits successfully on "The World Ain't Round It's Square" and a few other numbers, and while the texture on a couple of songs makes me wonder if all of these are truly live recordings, the energy that pulses through all of it is, in itself, intoxicating.
This CD issue is worth the price, and doubly so as it includes, as a bonus track, their lone studio single for a US label, "Roses Are Red, My Love" (issued on the Duane label). The latter proves that they were good in the studio, too -- though that track misses perhaps a tiny sliver of the energy that they display on stage. Vollständige Rezension lesen...
