4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant sixties pop., November 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Western Union: Best of (Audio CD)

This is a nice package by a sixties group that went from garage band to semi-bubblegum and put out some pleasant, though not durable, pop music. "Western Union", "I See the Light", and "Zip Code" are all here. Listen to it and see if you can resist it. Much better than given credit for -- this is the music of go-go boots, backseat at the drive-in teen-aged angst, and middle-American kids in bell-bottom pants. The Monkees do it better, but it ain't bad, and well worth the listen

2.0 out of 5 stars Five Americans, December 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Western Union: Best of (Audio CD)

I remember hearing the Five Americans album when it came out in '67, and heard most of the songs live, as the band I was in at the time, the Mersey Sounds, opened for them in Baton Rouge, La., as they toured to promote it. They had a great sound, were a good live group, but unfortunately were among the one-hit-wonders (who actually had a few hits) who vanished from sight before the dawn of the 70's. But they had their 15 minutes of fame and added to the totality of the '60's sound admirably.
