Released in late 1968, the irresistibly titled Hard 'N' Heavy (With Marshmallow) introduced a retooled Paul Revere and the Raiders lineup, with Mark Lindsay and Paul Revere joined by: bassist/songwriter Keith Allison, guitarist and future star Freddy Weller, and drummer Joe Correro. The new members help to lend a harder edge that's in keeping with the spirit of the late '60s and the emerging FM album underground-rock format, without sacrificing the catchy melodic sensibility that had originally made the Raiders Agarage-rock heroes. The group's ongoing potency is demonstrated on such memorable numbers as "Mr. Sun, Mr. Moon," "Cinderella Sunshine," Time After Time" and "Out on That Road,
Paul Revere & the Raiders featuring Mark Lindsay followed up their hip 1968 opus "Something Happening" with the slightly more straight ahead rocking "Hard 'N' Heavy (with marshmallow)". The title itself was a reference to Paul Revere and Mark Lindsay co-hosting the top teen TV "Happening" show which aired from March 1968 to September 1969, and remained very popular. By 1968, the Raiders changed with the times, underground FM radio had emerged and to that end, they dropped the revolutionary war costumes, and spent more time in the studio (with Mark as producer) coming up with rock music that could compete with the increasingly experimental sounds in late 60's rock. Although Mark had used studio players on some Raiders records in the past, this album features the group as the core of the project, with guest spots from legendary guitarists Ry Cooder (Captain Beefheart/Magic Band and solo fame) plus James Burton (Elvis Presley's guitar master). Joe Correro, Jr. was quite an improvement on drums, performing difficult drum fills. Keith Allison was a seasoned studio pro who had played on Raiders sessions even before he joined the group, and could play bass, guitar, and keyboards with equal proficiency. Paul Revere, of course, helped define the group's sound with his rockin' keys and Vox organ. As for Mark Lindsay, he was one of rock & roll's great voices -ever, equally at home on loud growling rockers. Mark was also a great producer - listen to the layers of sound he arranged on "Cinderella Sunshine". It's a psychedelic blend of marimba, organ, tack piano, and fuzz guitar that goes on for 4 minutes. The hardest rocker on this album is "Time After Time"....
