Love That Album: The Compilation Series - Episode 7 – Shakin’ Bankin’ Lovin’




Love That Album show

Summary: <br> Time for some more anthology discussion from Eric<br> Reanimator.<br> <br> <br> This time around Eric talks about not one, not two,<br> but three great compilations from bands of the early years of rock. You all<br> know them for one or two songs, but Eric gives you the lowdown on other songs<br> you should hear if your curiousity points that way.<br> <br> <br> First of all, we hear about The Best of Johnny Kidd<br> and the Pirates. Everyone will be familiar with “Shakin’ All Over” – it’s been<br> covered by all manner of bands (my favourites are The Who and Eilen Jewell).<br> Get familiar with their bluesy Merseybeat sounds.<br> <br> <br> Next up is mid 60s New York pop band, The Left<br> Banke. Eric discusses their compilation “There’s Gonna be a Storm”. Everybody<br> loves their hit “Walk Away Renee” (great cover version by The Four Tops and an<br> unusual spin by Billy Bragg – go on search it out). Eric will bring to your<br> attention some other great songs including “She May Call You Up Tonight” (also covered<br> by Richard and Linda Thompson). Highly recommended if you dig what is called<br> the baroque pop sound.<br> <br> <br> Finally, Eric talks about The Love Story, about<br> Arthur Lee’s great band that should have been HUGE. A very eclectic band. Known<br> mostly for “Forever Changes”, this compilation shows both their gentle and more<br> garage oriented side (songs from De Capo for instance).<br> <br> <br> Once again, Eric presents a hugely entertaining and<br> informative show and exposes you to great music.
