Product Description

Long before Detroit became an adjective, the Romantics were delivering REAL rock 'n' roll with a fire and conviction that was downright palpable. Power pop gems like "That's What I Like About You" and "When I Look In Your Eyes" set a new standard for the genre, injecting it with an urgency and a raw passion that could only come from the Motor City. This fall the foursome returns with "61/49," its most rock solid offering in years. Named for the storied crossroads near Clarksdale, mississippi where bluesman Robert Johnson made his pact with the devil, "61/49" is intended as a tip of the hat to the roots of rock 'n' roll and the nucleus of the Romantics' fervent pop.

"61/49" features members Wally Palmar, Mike Skill, Coz Canler, and their current drummer Clem Burke (a founding member of Blondie and now a permanent member of the Romantics). The album's opening track, "Devil In Me" exudes the sexy swagger that is the hallmark of the band's sound while its first single, "Out Of My Mind (Into My Head)" showcases Palmar's ruggedly charismatic voice and flair for melody.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sizzling Romantics 61/49 Burns With Power, September 10, 2003

By A Customer

Here it is folks, The Romantics are back and better than ever with 10 Hot New Tracks. Highly regarded by most critics, 61/49 re-unites Wally Palmar, Mike Skill, Coz Canler with former drummer Jimmy Marinos. Although Clem Burke is now the bands current drummer, he only plays on a few tracks along with Johnny Bee. All the songs here are smokin' with stand outs, Midnight To Six, Devil In Me, New Kinda Pain, When The Angels Hear Me Callin', 61/49 and Out Of My Mind Into My Head, but ALL the songs here are terrific. These kings of Infectious Rock & Roll display what many people have known for years..that The Romantics
are one helluva Rock and Roll band. The Romantics are an awesome act in concert and the great thing about '61/49' is that it captures the band with that raw live sound.

Hey forget about imitations...Buy the real thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!!!!!!!!!! , YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED, February 14, 2004

By	Pat L. (Grand Rapids, MI) - See all my reviews

While at college, My roommate and I worn down the stereo needles listening to " The Romatics (1st album), National Breakout, Strickly Personal and In Heat." This album (CD for you kids)is about redemption and respect. The Romantics put a collection of tracks together that will not disappointment the listener. They really did it right this time with their song selection, writing and personnel. The songs will immediately grab a Romantics fan from the start. You don't have to be a Romantics junkie to enjoy this one, you just need to know great music when you hear it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Romantics...back and better than ever!, September 18, 2003

By A Customer

Wow! I was blown away by the new Romantics CD. These guys know how to rock n roll! 10 tracks...all killer...no filler baby! I dig the gritty guitars, bluesy harp, and awesome hooks! This is blues, rock, power pop at its best! Pick this one up! The song "out Of My Mind (Into My Head)" is BETTER than "What I Like About You" in my opinion! Old drummer Jimmy Marinos plays on half the album...so for you purists, you can't complain. I love the cover art too! It bleeds tough rock n roll all the way through! Great job Coz, Wally, Mike, Jimmy, and Clem...you guys kick A*S! Dave from New England
