RAIDERS! Paul Revere & The Raiders In Their Own Words

 


RAIDERS!  

 Paul Revere & The Raiders 

In Their Own Words

 

Okay, they put on funny costumes, appeared onstage in white tights, wore 19th century hats, which wasn’t to everybody’s taste (at least not mine, I must confess). They were even called teeny boppers and a Bubble Gum band, but man, there was much more to them.

 

Considering their catalogue of realeases I found plenty of Garage Rock, Rock ‘n‘ Roll, even psychedelia, and okay, the occasional Pop tune welded at the chart, but in general they rocked. And they wrote many tunes that stood the test of time.

 


Here I am with a selection of band-penned numbers, that make listening good fun.

 

01. WITHOUT YOU

02. UNDECIDED MAN                                     

03. WHY? WHY? WHY?

04. BALLAD OF A USELESS MAN

05. STEPPIN‘ OUT

06. GET OUT OF MY MIND

07. TIGHTER

08. ALL I REALLY NEED IS YOU

09. 1001 ARABIAN NIGHTS

10. MAKE IT WITH ME

11. (as Raiders) SORCERESS WITH BLUE EYES

12. FREE

13. I DON‘T KNOW

14. TIME AFTER TIME

15. TOO MUCH TALK

16. TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF

17. (as Raiders) Dr. FINE

18. CALL ON ME

19. GOIN‘ TO MEMPHIS

20. THANK YOU

21. OH! TO BE A MAN

22. (as Raiders) TIGHTER (2nd version)

23. THE GREAT AIRPLANE STRIKE
