Rivers, Johnny

Meanwhile Back At The Whisky A Go Go
Sealed 1965 Heavy Vinyl Stereo Original. “You'd Think That By His Fourth Album In This Format From This Venue, Johnny Rivers Would Start To Get A Little Redundant, But That Wasn't The Case, As Is Obvious From The Opening Track, "Seventh Son" — Rivers Takes An Approach That Manages To Intersect With Swamp Rock, White Soul, And Garage Punk, All Neatly Wrapped Up In Three Minutes So Potent That It Shot Into The Top Ten On The Billboard Hot 100. One Doesn't Need To Check A Release Date On This Album To Know That Folk-Rock Was Still The Happening Sound At The Time Rivers Cut It; He Successfully Puts His Own Lean, Mean Stamp On The Sound With His Ominous, Stripped-Down Rendition Of "Greenback Dollar," Presenting A Side Of The Song Totally Missed By The Kingston Trio, And A Version Of "Silver Threads And Golden Needles" Owes A Lot To Dale Hawkins (Whose "Suzie Q" Also Gets Covered Here) And Chuck Berry.” Bruce Eder, AMG. Top Recommendation.
