The Flamin' Groovies- Now

Label: Liberation Hall

Reissued 2022, Originally released 1978

The Flamin' Groovies played a major role in the evolution of power pop and are considered a forerunner of punk rock. Flamin' Groovies "Now" isn't quite as cohesive as "Shake Some Action", the album that preceded it, but in many respects the band sounds at once tighter and more relaxed, with some time on the road firming up the rhythm section while giving the songs a bit more room to swing (which wasn't one of the strong suits of the British Invasion bands that provided their aural template)
