Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by prominent, pioneering use of the Musitron synthesizer and stinging rhythm guitars, this collection highlights a distinctly brooding approach to early rock composition. The vocal performances frequently shift into a piercing, emotionally distressed falsetto, separating the artist from typical, upbeat teen idols. 'Little Town Flirt' showcases a rare American rock and roll survivor navigating the transitional period before the British Invasion.
