Customer Reviews of Flamingo
Dynamite high energy rock and roll.... This is a masterpiece. Get this and "Teenage Head" and see what the Stones could have been if they hadn't gotten so full of themselves....
No dues
Another example of the artists being ripped off by the record companies. BMG released this in 1999 and hasn't paid a single dime in mechanicals/royalties to Jordan or Loney as of 2004. Buy "Groovies Greatest Grooves" or Norton's "Slow Death" instead.
Primo primer to '50's Rock N Roll Revival
"Flamingo" was the only Flamin' Groovies album I had and this is the only CD of theirs I have. I used to play only Side 1 of the LP which is tracks 1 thru 6 of the CD.(But what a GRRRRREAT six tracks!)The CD bonus tracks are way better than the original Side 2 of the LP, track 7 thru 10.
"Flamingo" was the Groovies entry into 1970's revival of '50s style Rock N Roll. Sha Na Na had made a big splash six months earlier at Woodstock and the subsequent 1970 movie "Woodstock" gave a major push to the '50s rock revival. The liner notes state that the Flamin' Groovies were extremely influenced by seeing MC5 in Detroit during MC5's "Back In The USA" phase and that's highly evident on these cuts. High energy old fashioned Rock N Roll to the MAX!
Man, "Flamingo" is Flamin' with HOT, HOT, HOT rock riffs! Here is your Rock & Roll primer! I can play tracks 1 thru 6 again and again. "Gonna Rock Tonite" is straight forward Rock and Roll incorporating almost all the great riffs plus a great Bass and then Drum solo section."Comin' After Me" spoofs '50s horror flicks (think "Night of the Living Dead") "Ten headhunters with a buzzsaw, 8 state troopers with a meathook, four headhunters with a mace can and they was Comin' After Me" "Headin for the Texas Border" is driving rock n roll. Try to stay still! "Sweet Roll Me On Down The Line" is rock-a-billy DooWop. "Keep A Knockin" is a Groovies' jackhammer on your front door. "Second Cousin" is a spoof on Jerry Lee Lewis' music and Life-style. " She's my second cousin on my good ol' pappy's side. An' they say that lovin' her is out of line. But I'm gonna make my second cousin my first bride"
Side two of the LP which is tracks 7 thru 10 on the CD sounds almost like a different band. Definitely a different style. "Jailbait" and "Roadhouse" are good, with blistering lead guitar on "Roadhouse" But the bonus tracks on the CD are more Great good ol' Rock N Roll. These cuts should have been the LP's Side 2.Great covers of "Walkin The Dog", Louie Louie" and "Rockin Pnuemonia" THIS REVIEW REFERS TO THE BIG BEAT VERSION OF THIS CD
