5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best, June 18, 2005

For anyone who appreciates the artistry of a rock band at their most artistic, creative zenith, this CD is for you. The lyrics are intelligent, the vocals are stunning, the instrumentation is magnificent, and the vast majority of the material is original. If you enjoy folk (The Warm), hard rock (Dennis Dupree), country (Cobblestone Road), lovely ballads (I Was Lonely When), socially-significant lyrics (Mr. Unreliable), and stunning poetry sung aloud (James Fairs) "The Warm", this is the one for you. If a gene-splicing experiment between SGT. Pepper and Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds had occurred, A Scratch In the Sky would be the result. I genuinely believe this is the best CD recorded in the history of rock music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cryan Shames, February 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Scratch in the Sky (Audio CD)

One of the most influential garage bands from my home State of Illinois. These guys were very underated, their harmonies,lyrics a class act. Its been more than 40 years and I still listen to their music, my children love them also. NG/South Beach

This review is from: Scratch in the Sky (Audio CD)

One of the numerous excellent 1960s groups that had a huge regional following (Chicago, in this case) that somehow didn't make it very far on the national scene. Too bad, because the Shames had fine songs and arrangements and some lovely vocal harmonies. "It Could Be That We're in Love" was a regional smash and a moderate national chart hit, but there are several other worthy songs here. Recommended.
