Free Music Notes for Dangerous Game
Free Music Review: Still Tough
Hit: 4 Stars
Thanks to a pal of mine I found out the lead singer of the Shangri La's headed back into the studio to record her first album in about 30 odd years. I'm so glad he told me and I'm so glad I bought this.
Her voice is a bit deeper now but it's still that sass a frass Mary behind the mic. She even does a cover of "Heaven Only Knows" an old Shangri La's hit, and the music is very much in the vein of her former band, but with some added attitude and a few swear words here and there. I just can't believe she's waited this long to record but where ever she was hiding it's worth it, cause she sounds amazing and the songs are all really good. Just listen to some of the songs and you'll be hooked like it's a brisky day in 1966.
Dangerous Game Poster
While Mary Weiss's name isn't familiar to the masses, her records with the Shangri-Las in the 1960s left an indelible mark on the cultural map. "Leader of the Pack," "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," and a string of other hits had her unmistakable voice blasting from radios and record players across the land. Just 18 when their last hit fell off the charts, Weiss, disillusioned from bad business deals, virtually disappeared. Now, 40 years later, comes her first solo album. Backed by Greg Cartwright and his band Reigning Sound, the songs (most of them penned by Cartwright) have their roots in the '60s, but eschew Spectorish sheen and density for a harder-edged sound. If the early-era Rolling Stones had been fronted by Debbie Harry, they'd have landed quite near this relentless 40-minute party. The few covers include an Ellie Greenwich/Jeff Barry chestnut, "Heaven Only Knows." Smartly paced, a few ballads offer some breathing room before the rhythm pumps up again. --David GreenbergerThe leader of the pack is back! Mary Weiss, the lead singer of the Shangri-Las, returns with a bang on her first recordings in four decades! Mary tackles thirteen originals by today's top songwriters plus reclaims Heaven Only Knows, backed by Memphis fan faves the Reigning Sound! Produced by Billy Miller and Greg Cartwright, this record started making noise as soon as session details began to filter out! Mary's return to the stage coincides with this release, slated for dates in Cleveland and at SXSW in Austin TX. You've spent a lifetime with 'Leader Of The Pack', 'Remember (Walking In The Sand)', 'Give Him A Great Big Kiss', 'Out In The Streets', and 'I Can Never Go Home Anymore'-- now get ready to blast forth with a brand new collection of Mary Weiss classics. The voice, the attitude, the magic that is... Mary Weiss.
