5.0 out of 5 stars 50's instrumental music at it's finest, July 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Flamingo Express (Audio CD)

From the first cut through the end, this CD had me bouncing. Although the marriage of The Royaltones to the Ramrods was odd, it was a treat to hear some unsung heros of teen instrumental music. The title song was not the biggest hit by the Royaltones, "Poor Boy" was their biggest seller. There is a bit of latin flavor through a lot of the songs, and a real sense of humor comes through. As the eldest child of the lead sax player, Ken Anderson, my opinion might be a bit biased. He passed away in 1972 and there is a wealth of material here that I didn't even know existed. I loved every minute of it. And the Ramrods were pretty good, too, if just a bit gloomy.

4.0 out of 5 stars 50's & 60's Instrumentals, July 13, 2000

I agree with Mr. Anderson, that this CD is a must for those who enjoy the Rock & Roll instrumentals of the late 50's and the early 60's. "Poor Boy" was one of my favorite instrumentals when it was first released. I disagree that The Ramrods are "a bit gloomy." The majority of The Ramrods' selections are similar to the "Duane Eddy Sound."

We thought Flamingo Express was good music in 1965. Now it sounds like a high school garage band . . . but glad to hear it again.
