Harvey Russell & The Rogues - Shake Sherry
Review by Adeel Kiyani
Harvey Russell & The Rogues' latest album, Shake Sherry, is a rollicking ride through the sounds of the '60s garage rock scene. The band's high-energy performances and catchy songwriting make for a satisfying listen that will leave fans tapping their feet and humming along.
The album opens with the driving title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its twangy guitar riffs and Russell's raw vocals. Other standout tracks include "She's So Fine," a fast-paced tune with a catchy chorus, and "I Can't Get Enough," which features some impressive harmonica playing.
Throughout the album, Russell and his bandmates showcase their musicianship and their love for the classic rock sound. There are plenty of nods to the genre's icons, from the Rolling Stones to the Kinks, but the band manages to put their own stamp on the music.

About Harvey Russell & The Rogues
From Akron, Ohio.
In 1964 Harvey Russell started his own record label, Janie, named for his wife. He recorded a record of his own, but also released records by the Decades and Pacers. By 1965 he had decided to start singing for the teenage set, so he partnered with the Rogues, an Akron band who were pretty popular in the teen clubs.
In 1966 he recorded "Shake Sherry" with the Rogues at Cleveland Recording, and issued it another of his own label creations, Jade records. The record was a big local hit and was picked up by Roulette records. Harvey and the Rogues made several live appearances (although they were always considered separate performers) and did TV shows like Upbeat where the "Singing Cop" angle was always played up.
Dissatisfied in their dealings with Roulette, Harvey and the Rogues decided to record a 'deal breaker', a record too loud and raw to be commercial - so they went back to Cleveland Recording and laid down "Keep a Knockin'" and "Slippin' and Slidin', two sides of blasting guitar powered garage with Harvey's deliberately over-the-top screaming vocals out front! Roulette passed but Perry Stevens decided to release it on his "HANDS" label (Haims AND Stevens). This record also did OK locally.

Thought you would like to know the facts behind this record.The Rogues was my band formed during high school in 1966 in Akron, Ohio. Harvey Russell was an Akron policeman who had released several records prior to this and asked us to back him on Shake Sherry. I played electric piano and my partner and best friend Gary Garcia played guitar on this session including the lead solo. The song was released nationally on Roulette Records. Gary and I when on to record the hit, "Pac Man Fever" and most recently the title song to the Disney movie "Wreck-It-Ralph." Harvey is a talented guy and remains a close friend.

WIXY 1260 picked this to click in '66. Lost my copy. Awful vocal is more than compensated for by the awesome guitar solo. Thanks for this memory.

Just listened to Blanche today. Joey Villa did lead on the song, if I understand correctly?

I can't argue that. The first verse is identical except for a few words

This is true.. Once the record leaves the intro, the girls nearly disappear. It's still an interesting departure considering it's from 1966

Glad you're enjoying it Amnon. It's nice to hear from you.. You're busy posting tracks (much busier than me) and I know how hard it can be to get to other people's posts.

Probably cause we're women!! :O)

It's very, very similar. A good portion of the first verse was borrowed from Blanche. After that it goes into it's own thing

I love that when artists sing differently on the flips!!

Roulette Records was Berry Gordie's company to capitalize garage bands from the suburbs of Detroit, when his Motown was big with urban hits. That was a big label for a garage band to get on. I always like Akron. It always had a modern feel about it. And, besides garage bands, it made it's mark in the beginnings of the Punk Band era.

I was in Cuyahoga Falls High school when this record came out, and always wanted to here another song by "the singing policeman". very popular.
