The Flamin Groovies - Sneakers
Review by Jeni Van Horn
The Flamin Groovies' album "Sneakers" is a blast from the past that is sure to delight fans of rock and roll. The album is a collection of previously unreleased recordings from the band's early days, showcasing their raw energy and impressive musicianship.
The album kicks off with the high-energy track "Bittersweet," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Other standout tracks include the catchy "Shake Some Action" and the bluesy "Comin' After Me." The band's cover of Chuck Berry's "Let It Rock" is also a highlight, showcasing their ability to put their own stamp on classic rock and roll tunes.
