Tuesday, May 31, 2011: Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover
There is something to be said for psychedelic music. Take this song, for example.
Here is a trip, most literally. We start start off slow, paced and filled with longing, then we pick up the pace a bit with more instruments, voices and effects - then things really take off.
I mean, this song has a backbone of great rock and roll to it, starting with that descending bassline and moving into a nice little jam, then back to the beginning, then over again.
With tricks such as vocoders and phasers, this song takes you more places that some artists travel for entire albums.
What a very, very cool song, this.
Enjoy.
