Flamin’ Groovies – Supersnazz

Description

Founded by Ron Greco, Cyril Jordan and Roy Loney, the American Garage Rock band The Flamin’ Groovies had their start in San Francisco in the mid Sixties. The debut album ‘Supersnazz’ was released in 1969, containing both re-creations of ’50s Rock ‘n Roll songs and more melodic tracks. It made the group one of the forerunners of the Power Pop movement of the ’70s, a genre the Flamin’ Groovies had a major influence on and contributed significant work to. ‘Supersnazz’ has achieved a reputation among not just Flamin’ Groovies fans, but lovers of Rock & Roll in general. It held up very well across the decades and is still able to make its own case for greatness as an impressive document of straight-ahead Rock & Roll circa 1969. It’s both fully contemporary to its time and timeless, which makes the album a classic work.
