CD Reviews

First and Best

raw100500 | Chicago, IL/Saigon/Chicago | 03/19/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Crisp & clean, fantastic harmony and REVERB!...A great rock album for serious oldies buffs interested in the Chicago Garage Band sound of the mid 60's early 70's era. Hauntingly reminding of a great era, gone but not forgotten."

Da `Shames...

R. Sobkoviak | Chicagoland, USA | 10/04/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is some of the best of the Cryan' Shames...including songs that aren't on the "Sugar & Spice" compilation like their brilliant version of "If I Needed Someone". Legend has it that George Harrison nixed them releasing this cover (originally found on the Beatles freshman effort "Please Please Me") as a single...even though it's so faithful to the original. And there is a great send-up of "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", or "Out of this Place We're Gotten To Get" as mirthful lead singer Tom Doody calls it, using his fake British accent that caused many people to mistakenly think he was a Brit. Of course there is there signature tune "Sugar & Spice" (also done at the time by the Searchers--who had the bigger national hit). Another great tune and a favorite in Chicagoland to this day on oldies radio is "I Wanna Meet You". Jim Peterik, leader of the Ides of March (another Chicago band), Survivor ("Eye of the Tiger") and the brains behind 38 Special once awed at the Cryan' Shames...he said they could walk up on the stage, plug in and "Boom...I first saw you in a magazine, I wanna meet you..." They were pro's, and this is where it started."
