The Beau Brummels

Дамы и господа! Хотелось бы узнать ваши впечатления от этой группы. Мне попалась их Риновская коробка из 3-х дисков. На мой взгляд, чрезвычайно слабый коллектив - на 3-х дисках не нашлось ни одной вещи, которая хотя бы слегка зацепила...

У меня до них все никак "уши не дойдут", но неужели все так плохо? Пару песен я слышал, ничего особенного, но их по-моему весьма в свое время уважали...

Спасибо Кощею!

While they only had two big hits, The Beau Brummels were one of the most important and underrated American groups of the '60s. They were the first U.S. unit of any sort to successfully respond to the British Invasion. They were arguably the first folk-rock group, even predating The Byrds, and also anticipated some key elements of the San Francisco psychedelic sound with their soaring harmonies and exuberant melodies. Before they finally reached the end of the string, they were also among the first bands to record country-rock in the late sixties.

The key axis of the band was formed by guitarist/songwriter Ron Elliott, who penned most of the Brummels' moody and melodious material, and singer Sal Valentino, owner of one of the finest voices in mid-sixties rock. Spotted by local DJ Tom Donahue in a club in San Mateo (just south of San Francisco), the group were signed to Donahue's small San Francisco-based label Autumn Records in 1964. With Sly Stewart (later Sly Stone) in the producer's chair, they made the Top 20 right off the bat with Laugh, Laugh. The melancholy, minor-key original sounded so much like the British bands inundating the airwaves that many listeners initially mistook the Brummels for an English act. The follow-up single, Just A Little, was another excellent, melancholy number that became their biggest hit, making the Top Ten.

The Beau Brummels made a couple of fine albums in 1965, dominated by strong original material and featuring the band's ringing guitars and multi-part, mournful harmonies. The best of their early work is nearly as fine as The Byrds' first recordings, yet the band were losing ground commercially, partially because Autumn, being such a small label, lacked promotional muscle. You Tell Me Why was their only other Top 40 hit, though Sad Little Girl and The Byrds knockoff Don't Talk To Strangers were excellent singles. The band also shuffled personnel a few times, and Ron Elliott was unable to stay on the road because of diabetes. Autumn was sold in 1966 to Warners, who made the lunkheaded move of forcing the band to record an entire album of Top 40 covers - ignoring the fact that original material was one of Brummels' primary fortes.

Regrouping as a trio, the group recorded the critically acclaimed, more experimental album Triangle, in 1967. Their last Warners LP, Bradley's Barn, found the group branching into country-rock, a year or so before it became fashionable. The Beau Brummels did reform for an unimpressive reunion album in 1975, and although Ron Elliott and Sal Valentino continued to make music and work on various low-profile projects of their own, they've never made records on par with the Brummels' vintage work.

Ron Elliott later played in Joyous Noise (Musical Ensemble).

Ого! Насколько поимаю смысл такой музыки, это американский ответ битлам, сплав бита и местного фолка (как у нас песняры или кто там еще). Тем же занимались Left Banke, Leaves, Grassroots, Clifs of Lavender Hill, Vejtables, Gants (хит которых I Wonder поразительно напоминает In My Life) Бердз, конечно.

Хорошая группа! Недавно про нее был эфир на Эхо, там ее и заценил. Одна из немногих бит-групп, сумевших потом сделать что-то похожее на психоделию...
Вот их очень милая вещичка:
