Free Music Notes for Absolutely the BestFree Music Review: get the lps and box set instead, but a nice primer
In a recent article that I wrote for a local zine, I argued for the inclusion of the Zombies as one of the most important acts of the 1960's, no less the "British Invasion" (ranking, in my view, only behind the Beatles, with the Kinks a close 3rd)- this despite the fact that they only made 2 proper lps, the severely underrated "The Zombies Begin Here," and the legendary "Odessey and Oracle," as well as the fact that most of their singles either did not chart or reached paltry rankings in Billboard or Cashbox. Despite the obvious lack of insight by buyers, reviewers, or both, the Zombies were a brilliant band well ahead of their time. Their fusion of jazz, blues, and pop sensibilities set them apart from all of their contemporaries. Who else sang even close to a "She's Not There," or a jazzed up "I Want You Back Again"?! Rod Argent and Chris White's superior writing skills (and equally muscular chops on organ and bass, respectively) are perfectly accentuated by Colin Blunstone's immaculate, wispy lyrical style, guitarist Paul Atkinson's underappreciated, sometimes angular, style, and drummer Hugh Grundy's inate sense of timing. Here was a band with superior musicianship that even the Beatles couldn't match. |
