Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled by the raspy, mature vocals of a young Alex Chilton, the Memphis-based group capitalizes on the massive success of their earlier singles. 'Cry Like a Baby' features production by Dan Penn, blending Southern soul inflections with radio-friendly pop rock structures. The title track prominently features the electric sitar, a defining sonic marker of the late 1960s pop landscape.
