Synopsis
Product Description Plainfield, NJ's favorite sons, The Doughboys second album Act Your Rage takes the world by storm when The Doughboys unleash 16 new songs concocted with audio engineer Kurt Reil & mastering engineer Ed Stasium (Ramones, Smithereens, Marshall Crenshaw). The first single - I'm Not Your Man - has already been chosen Coolest Song In The World by Little Steven Van Zandt on his Sirius/XM Underground Garage show! The Doughboys first single off their debut album, Black Sheep, was likewise honored by Little Steven & named the #2 Coolest Song in the World for all of 2008! The Doughboys are Myke Scavone, lead vocals; Richard X. Heyman, drums & vocals; Gar Francis, guitar & vocals; & Mike Caruso, bass & vocals. They were one of the most popular of central Jersey's bands in the '60's, releasing two singles in '67 on Bell Records - Rhoda Mendelbaum & Everybody Knows My Name, as the band played weekly WMCA Good Guys shows all over the tri-state area. They were the house band at the legendary Café Wha? in Greenwich Village during the summer of '68. It took almost 40 years for their first album and this, their second, will knock you out!

CD ReviewsReal Rock and Roll? Bob K. | Perinton, NY | 03/05/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is blues based rock and roll; they don't try to punk it up or psychedelicize it. They don't have to. No gimmicks here, just finely crafted songwriting and arranging. The songs sound simple -- but they're not. The quality of the musicianship strikes you on first listening. Subsequent playings reveal the depth of this band's experience and intensity. This album is 16 songs -- that's a lot of music -- that range from the moderate blues of "Carmelina" to the pop/rock hits of R. X. Heyman's "Why Can't She See Me" and Gar Francis' "I'm Not Your Man". In between is a rocking version of the Kinks "It's Alright" and an updated version of the Moody Blues "Tuesday Afternoon". "Queen City" includes a horn section and a fine jamming fade out. The album is full of nice touches like the guitar and harmonica playing together in "Turn Your Love On Me". The work is beautifully recorded, allowing you to hear the drums, bass, guitars (always creatively distorted), harmonica, organ, and vocals in all their splendor. A pleasure to hear!
