THE LITTLE BOY BLUES
MARK COPLON, BILL MOONEY, PETER POLLACK, RAY LEVIN
Garage punk combo the Little Boy Blues were formed in 1964 by singer/guitarist Lowell Shyette,
lead guitarist Paul Ostroff, bassist Ray Levin, and drummer James Boyce, all of them students
at the University of Illinois at Chicago. After honing a repertoire consisting primarily of Chicago blues classics
and early rock & roll hits, the group was approached by the local IRC label to make a record, albeit
on the condition they abandon their bluesy sound in favor of a more commercial, British Invasion-inspired
approach. the Little Boy Blues agreed and in 1965 issued the Shyette-penned "Love for a Day,"
a major hit on Chicago radio that earned the band opening gigs
for acts including the Rolling Stones, the Lovin' Spoonful, and the Association
"IN THE WOODLAND OF WEIR" Produced by Dan Schneider

RECORD NEAR EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
The eclectic nature of bandleader Doug Sahm is undisputed, but this has got to be his album
with the most experimental jazz leanings, again not something one would expect.
The type of themes that Sahm would return to again and again in his songwriting are here...(AllMusic)
