The cover photo from the compilation album on which this version of "Indian Reservation" appears would seem to suggest that the recordings are by Paul Revere and the Raiders. Well, not exactly... These are all Mark Lindsay recordings with other backing instrumentalists. I feel fortunate that the only track I purchased was "Indian Reservation." It is not bad, and basically the arrangement remains true to the original. It's a little slicker, and little less raw, and thus, it lacks some of the bite of the original. According to reviews of the entire album, some of the tracks stray far more from the original arrangements and stylistic feels than this one. Although the audio quality and the performance quality are cleaner than that of the early 1970s original, I'd recommend the original, especially if you remember it from all those years ago. This one sounds good, but somehow wrong.

One of the first songs I tagged as a fav when I first started listening to an AM transistor radio. It's worth a 99 cent download just to get the keyboard ending.
