This week's podcast is a listener's pick and boy are we grateful to have it be Shake Some Action by the Flamin' Groovies. Shake Some Action is nothing short of a power pop masterpiece. With its British Invasion vibe, it's hard to believe it came from 1976. There a bunch of great covers, including one that goes back to 1914. But it's the originals where the band shines. The songs are full of hooks and great harmonies, that will make you want to dance or sing a long at the the top of your lungs while you're driving down the road. The title track is power pop royalty. The Flamin' Groovies are a remarkable band that are critics darlings, but for some reason mostly unheard by the record-buying public. Join us as we dig into the story of the band, and discuss this remarkable set of songs, on one of the best albums of 70s.
