The Mad Lads - The Best Of The Mad Lads

Review by Matias Owsianik

The Best of the Mad Lads is a compilation album that features some of the greatest hits of the legendary soul group, Mad Lads. The album is a must-have for fans of classic soul music and those who are looking to discover the sound of the 60s.

The album features some of the band's most popular tracks, including "I Want Someone," "Don't Have to Shop Around," and "I Want a Girl." The songs are a mix of upbeat, danceable tracks and soulful ballads that showcase the band's versatility and range.

The vocals on the album are top-notch, with lead singer John Gary Williams delivering powerful and emotive performances on every track. The harmonies are tight and well-crafted, adding depth and richness to each song.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," a cover of the classic Glen Campbell song. The Mad Lads' version is a soulful and passionate take on the song, with Williams' vocals adding a layer of emotion that is missing from the original.
