We start this week's shuffle with a song from the rather dapper group pictured above.
They are none other than Michigan band Tommy James and the Shondells who had a big hit in 1968 with Crimson and Clover.Yet another song from Jon Savage's 1968: The Year the World Burned. I'm guessing that is Tommy in the double breasted yellow jacket and with the impressive barnet.
We cross the pond to my home country for the next two acts.
The Muldoons are a band from Paisley who released the album Made for Each Other on Last Night From Glasgow in 2020. Here is the title track and a review from the GInger Quiff . They followed this one up recently with the rather excellent We Saw The View.
Can anyone out there remember who won the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award in 2017. No? I'll put you out your misery then. It was none other than Sacred Paws with Strike a Light from which the song Nothing is taken.
More award winning shuffling next Saturday.
Tommy James & the Shondells - Crimson and Clover
Always good to hear Tommy James
ReplyDeleteThe shuffle did great work today. Still waiting for my copy of the new Muldoons. - Brian
