Most people are familiar with Tommy James and the Shondells through their impressive string of radio hits, but what few people realize is that, alongside said bubblegum classics, the band was busy laying down some of the weirdest rock and roll of the era. 1969′s Cellophane Symphony is a beautiful case in point, and in fact doubles as an excellent gateway into the Shondells’ discography.Few rock and roll groups have ever been adventurous enough to open an album of catchy, psychedelic rock and roll with a droning, ten minute space rock instrumental. Highly recommended for any psychedelic music lover.
over a 100 million records sold got to be the hair , talent has nothing to do with it bitches!!!
His hair is quite amazing. Cool stuff, thanks for posting. I always dug his solo song "Dragging the Line." Nothing like quality bubblegum.
ReplyDeleteI would recomend any of his stuff from the late sixties and early seventies its pretty good with the Shondells and solo.
