The Flamin' Groovies - The Gold Star Tapes
Review by Frank Pfabigan
The Gold Star Tapes by Flamin' Groovies is a must-listen for fans of classic rock and roll. This album showcases the band's raw and energetic sound, with tracks that are both catchy and memorable.
The album was recorded in 1971 at Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles, and the quality of the recording is excellent. The guitars, bass, and drums all sound crisp and clear, and the vocals are spot-on.
One standout track on the album is "Shake Some Action," which has become a fan favorite over the years. The song's infectious chorus and driving beat make it impossible not to dance along.
Another highlight is "Tallahassee Lassie," a cover of the classic rock and roll track. The Flamin' Groovies give the song their own unique spin, with a faster tempo and more aggressive guitar work.
