It has been called to my attention that I have mentioned a "new" artist, Freddy Weller. Who is this guy...
Actually, he was one of Paul Revere's Raiders in the late 60s and early 70s.
Freddy is the guy in this photo who is wearing the white pants and looking very happy to see us!
Freddy is also responsible for writing some great songs. Remember Tommy Roe's Dizzy? Freddy wrote that one. He covered it later on one of his solo albums, if it can be said that one is covering a song that one has written himself...
(cute Freddy icon)
After splitting with the Raiders, Freddy went country. ARGH! Still, he did do some rather interesting songs. The Legend Of Paul Revere And The Raiders is a real hoot! I wish that I could find a way to get the track from my vinyl album to an MP3 so that I could share it. You'd laugh your ass off!
Truthfully, the very best thing about Freddy's solo albums for this not-so-country girl is their cover pictures. Get the drool buckets ready!
Something about the guys from that band... They just can't seem to keep their shirts on, which is in my opinion, a very good thing!
