One of Their Best

Paul Revere & The Raiders are one of the most overlooked of the mid-60s rock bands. Because they wore the Revolutionary War outfits in their early days, they were viewed as a novelty act and summarily dismissed. As a result, some of the catchiest rock of the era is missed. "Hungry", "The Great Airplane Strike", "Good Things", all of these were Top-20 hits, and deservedly so. The rest of the album has its ups and downs (couldn't resist), but overall, this, along with Revolution and Midnight Ride, is some of their best work. One of my favorite gems from the album is "Undecided Man", which was the B-side of the "Good Things" single. Buy this and prepare for a trip back in time courtesy of Paul, Mark, Smitty, Fang and Harpo, Paul Revere & The Raiders at the top of their game.
