Search - The Hangmen :: Bittersweet

After appearing on several compilations in recent years including pebbles & signed D.C. the hangmen finally have their sole album reissued on dc formely known as the reekers and based in Washington d.c., the hangmen were centred around the talents of guitarist tom Guernsey and put out three 45's, plus the album bittersweet in that groundbreaking year of 1966. Originally released on monument (slp 18077) the album is a fine example of the U.S. mid 60's sound whether it's close harmony soft or a stomp through some fuzzed beat garage R&B. their first two classic 45's the harmonica driven punt of what a girl can't do, and the gentle fuzz of faces are both reworked on the album and included alongside cover versions of dream baby psyched with a hint of sitar let it be me, and an extended workout of Van Morrison's Gloria. Radioactiv. 2006
