A Whole Lotta Shakers!
Not to be confused with the '60s band from Uruguay! This LP however does offer authentic sounding '60s inspired beat to twist and shout to! The experienced live-band plays music like the Liverpudlians already did in the early '60s, with twangy guitars, a dancin' rhtythm, a bit of moody blues and melodic harmonies, resulting in an album containing hits only! While THE SHAKERS' cover versions of classics like 'Soldier Of Love', 'Besame Mucho' or 'Love Potion #9' are of high quality and complemented with the band's own input, their original songs seem to stand out even more. Every single song is a hit, whether it is the dreamy beat-ballad 'For A Little While' or the catchy 'Draggin' Me Down' with its touch of danceable '60s pop. If you like bands like THE KAISERS or PETER BERRY & THE SHAKE SET, you will more than appreciate THE SHAKERS.
