CD Reviews

Standells - 'Why Pick On Me' (Sundazed)

Mike Reed | USA | 10/26/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Looks to be the garage band's third(?)actual lp. May be a compilation,sort of hard to tell. Either way,'Why...' is a good fifteen track CD reissue. Tunes I was quite impressed with were the title cut "Why Pick On Me",their Stones-inspired "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White" (like the Cramp's cover of this song as well),"Black Hearted Woman","Mr.Nobody",the catchy "Mainline" and the somewhat humorous "Have You Ever Spent The Night In Jail (Well I Have)". Overall,a worthy catalog title by the Standells. In this fan's personal opinion, they never did get their 'just due'. A definite should-have."

You don't dig this long hair? Get yourself a crewcut, baby!

"The Standells were one of the best, if not the best, garage bands of the 1960s. This was their second album for Tower Records. It features two of their great singles that should have been hits, but weren't; "Why Pick On Me" and "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White". Besides those classics, there are some other great songs like "Black Hearted Woman", "Mr. Nobody", "Mainline" and "Have You Ever Spent the Night in Jail". Most of the songs are good, but the group doesn't fare too well on the ballads, including (oddly enough) an Italian ballad which was written by the group's guitarist (it's called "Mi Hai Fatto Innamorare", which means "You Enchant Me"). Overall, this is a very good album which fans of the '60s garage band sound will enjoy."

Next to iron Butterfly, Seeds, Buffalo Springfield. Stand UP
