The Cryan' Shames - "Synthesis" (1968) - Columbia Records
Hello Friends,
Straight from the rough streets of Hinsdale, Illinois, we've got the Cryan' Shames on the turntable tonight.
Synthesis is the band's third and final album and it definitely takes a more psychedelic approach than their first two records.
The Cryan' Shames biggest "hit" came out in 1966. A cover of The Searcher's "Sugar & Spice" and there's nothing on Synthesis that really comes close to the succinct sweetness of that garage rock nugget!
But there's a certain over-reaching charm to this record.
Our pick for the record is the first track, the garage-y, "Greenburg, Glickstein, Charles, David Smith & Jones" (written by Isaac Guillory).
RATING: 3.5 Kisses Sweeter Than Wine out of 5
