Description:

[ERA : 70s / Rock ] In 1970, Louie and The Lovers released the album 'Rise'. It didn't sell at the time, but has been treasured among music lovers ever since. Produced by legendary Texan roots rocker Doug Sahm, the young band (every member was yet to turn twenty) came across like a Salinas Valley Boy version of Creedence Clearwater Revival infused with a pinch of tex-mex Big Star. Album opener 'Rise' is blistering power-pop dressed up in heavenly vocal harmonies and guitar hooks galore while 'I ve Always Got You On My Mind' and 'I Just Met You' are soulful ballads, endlessly and timelessly beautiful. 'Royal Oakie' is rough, lose happy-go-lucky roots rock. Why the 45rpm single 'Driver Go Slow' didn't chart is now hard to understand. No wonder Peter Buck (of R.E.M. fame) is a huge fan of Louie and The Lovers. This CD expands the original 'Rise' with non-album single tracks, session outtakes and most sensational; an entire, previously unreleased second Louie and The Lovers album! /
