THE FIVE AMERICANS - DON'T BLAME ME

After their big national hit with the excellent "Western Union" (a song which takes the Vox Continental organ sound into orbit), the group came back stronger, funkier, and punkier with this incredible slice of Texas swagger. And they brought the organ again (played by John Durrill), and used it in just as groundbreaking of a way, although I have to give special credit to guitarist Norman Ezell who twangs out LOUD thru the entire song, as well as singer Miike Rabon gets very primal with some excellent screams throughout.

Sadly, the group never had another big hit, yet kept together until 1969.

from 1966...

It's become my habit to come by every couple weeks or so, catch up on all the tracks (I copy & keep everything you write to go along with the songs) and then I have a good little play list to listen to. This latest run is just off the "charts" - every damn track has just been amazing.
Many thanks on this Labor Day for your Labor of love - it is truly appreciated.
