Synopsis

Album Description
Perhaps the ultimate party record?and album?of the ?60s! "Farmer John" (the song) grafted a basic "Louie Louie" beat on to the old Don & Dewey R&B tune from the ?50s, turned the volume knobs to 10 and then on top of that added a raucous crowd consisting of the all-girl Chevelles Car Club to create a single that wasn?t just music to party to, it was the party! And the rest of the record kept things just as rockin?, with versions of "Don?t You Just Know It," "We Go Together," "Look at Me," "Over the Mountain, Across the Sea," "Annie Oakley," "Anymore," "Feel Like Dancing," "Ruined," "I Won?t Be Back Next Year," "Cross My Heart," and "Mary Ann" done east-LA, mid-?60s Chicano-style, which is to say very rockin? and irresistibly danceable. Richie Unterberger?s notes?which include copious quotes from original Premier Lawrence Perez?set the scene. A legendary record, a Collectors? Choice Music exclusive!
 

CD Reviews

"Farmer John"...and that's it
Casey Scott | 06/13/2004
(1 out of 5 stars)

"The Premiers created an all-time frat party classic with "Farmer John", made popular again after appearing on Lenny Kaye's NUGGETS compilation. Those of you who were wondering what else the Premiers cranked out, do yourself a favor and keep wondering, because this is a pretty lousy record. Made to sound like a live recording captured at a kegger, this is the type of record you'd expect a bad local nightclub act to unleash on the world. Lots of covers, none of which are good. Bask in the genius of "Farmer John" and save your money."
