TOP FLIGHT 1965 GARAGE FROM MISSISSIPPI
GREGG ALLMAN GUESTS ON ORGAN
THE GANTS
== ROADRUNNER ==
...USA - Liberty Records - LRP 3432 - STEREO
MINTY CLEAN....1965 Original first pressing of the very first (and best) of three albums these garage rockin' cats issued in the sixties...all three albums are good to get and collectible ...This copy comes with the original Liberty inner sleeve...
One of the few outfits of its kind to emerge from the Deep South, the GANTS were originally known as The Kingsmen (but not to be confused with likewise-named Kingsmen who had the hit "Louie, Louie") ...Then in 1965 bombs fell on Vietnam, and garage bands sprouted all over America. In Greenwood, Mississippi the GANTS were born. While the black majority population of the Mississippi Delta town was marching on the courthouse for voting rights, a good portion of the white youth were hunched over guitars puzzling out the Delta blues-derived licks on records by The Yardbirds, The Animals and The Rolling Stones.
Then, in the autumn of 1965, something truly incredible happened. One of the hometown bands broke through. The Gants' recording of Bo Diddley's song "Roadrunner" started creeping up the charts. It was two minutes and twenty seconds of garage-land glory. It opens with thrashing electric guitars modulating up a scale, building the tension rung by rung, and then ignites with primitive fuzztone power chords over a classic boogie bass line. And it had a gimmicky hook on the chorus when lead singer Sid Herring imitated the cartoon Roadrunner's classic getaway line, "Beep-beep, schwoooo." "Roadrunner," the single, and The Gants' first album with the same name, were recorded at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and licensed for national release by Liberty Records. That Gants' first album, titled Roadrunner, supposedly features Duane Allman playing organ on "House of the Rising Sun" (it is most likely they meant his brother, Greg Allman, however).
The album, Roadrunner, is a solid slice of 1965 garage glory, featuring a slew of cool tunes from the punked-out fuzz/reverbed GLORIA to the moody atmosphere in House Of The Rising Sun, The high school band from Mississippi were as good as any of the teen-scene hopefuls in the mid sixties....
