Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Rock 'n' mediocrity.Along with Texas and Denmark (seriously), Chicago is reputed to have had one of the best garage-rock scenes of the entire 1960s. Collectors will tell you about fantastic local acts such as the Shadows of Knight (of "Oh Yeah" fame), the Lemon Drops, and the New Colony Six, as well as the all-important influence of the city's astounding blues output (Chicago was the home of postwar electric blues, thanks to such local luminaries as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and the legendary Chess Records label). Unfortunatley, you wouldn't know this from listening to volume six of the long-running Pebbles series. Sure, there are plenty of gems on this disc, but so much of it is devoted to the kind of dull, soundalike filler that is the bane of garage-rock fans ...

When I discovered that the songs I recorded with the Omens in 1965 were included in several compilation albums, and were selling in 2005, I was stunned, dazed, and amused. I haven't seen any of the former bandmates since 1966. Don Revercomb, from Hammond, IN, wrote the songs, sang and played the guitar. I enjoyed playing the farfisa organ on "Searching" and "Girl Get Away", and hope that you will also experience the unique energy of the 60's through this recording. Those were the days...... Rating: - Mediocre PEBBLES outing with a few shining momentsI don't get it; the 60s garage bands of Chicago have been hailed as some of the best in the country, but judging by this volume, they are a pretty faceless lot, sounding almost identical and unoriginal in the extreme. OK, maybe I'm being a little harsh, but the tunes on this disc are nowhere near as cool as those on PEBBLES VOL. 7: CHICAGO 2. That's where the real gems are! Songs worth hearing on this volume: The Omens' "Searching", The Furniture's "I Love It Baby", The Huns' "Winning Ticket", The Delights' "Long Green" (sounding like a regional R&B group, with a horn section no less!), The Blackstones' "Never Feel the Pain", and Dean Carter's "Rebel Woman". If you didn't like The Lemon Drops' "I Live in the Springtime", you won't find ... Read More: |
