#2079 Paul Revere & The Raiders - Midnight Ride

[in which i shit on the genesis of all the modern music i love and generally disgrace the ancestors]

that bass tone, that fuzz, robed in organs and slashed with the occasional guitar - its what saves this. I do love that tone.

and sure - Kicks strikes at the heart of the 60's from an unexpected angle.

but in 1966 this has no squatters rights on any part of the sound, and brings little new and just generally is a pretty forgettable album circa now 3/5
