Don't miss this one, it's funny/weird/good and I think fairly rare, at least I haven't seen many of em
around......the proper name of this collection would be "Danish Garage Bands Perform America's Hottest Garage Rock Songs" (see how fitting? GARAGE bands, and they're doing GARAGE songs......were I half as innovative I'd found a way to finally get Cameron Diaz to marry me by now.....Evidently there are more in the series, as some of these same bands perform songs by the Beatles, Stones, Spencer Davis Group and perhaps more......any friends of the blog happen to have any of them, I'll put them up, I've never heard them but this one is the "real deal"!
Anyway, while the bands are unknown to most, the songs sure as hell aren't, some take the easy route such as Joe E Carter's Group covering that little known chestnut "Gloria", Peter Belli & His Four Roses taking on that rarely covered chestnut "Hey Joe", and Crazy Women going out and tackling that ittle known, rarely covered chestnut, "Hey Joe".......still real cool, then we get to the meat of the issue. The Ashtrays take on "My Back Pages", Exciting Dreams slaying of "Bummer in the Summer", and the Mafia Group(!)'s take on (wait for it) "Wooly Bully" are among the highlights, but the entire album is lighthearted, funny, and goddamn enjoyable. Highly recommended, but please bring your sense of humor!
