Willie's Pick #52:
The
Lost Cause- "Open Up Your Door"
(Right-click to download)
Willie's
comments: Nepotism alert: in 1968, my then-teenage dad,
Jeff Williams, sang and played drums in a gifted covers band whose basement
recordings he and I recently unearthed. This double-time cover of Richard
and the Young Lions' garage-rock classic is my favorite of the lot. Though
it mutes the original's anthemic charge, the Lost Cause's version, with its
speedier rhythm and the heartwarmingly adolescent backing vocals from Steve
Zubeck, is a memorable improvement, and I'm certain I'd say that even if
I weren't the drummer's progeny. From The Lost Cause, which can be
downloaded in its entirety
here.
Scott's
comments: You know what? Nepotism or not
I really like this one, it's just so effortlessly charming and catchy. The
brisk beats, the hooky basslines, the nicely plucked guitar (which almost
sounds like a piano), the endearingly amateurish vocals, the lo-fi overall
sound; it all works, simple as that. This would make a nice addition
to one of the Nuggets box sets in fact!
